The Girl from Sunset Ranch; Or, Alone in a Great City
Marlowe, Amy Bell
Coming of age -- Juvenile fiction; Montana -- Juvenile fiction
"I am going to find out who I am, and where I came from," said Nancy to
herself, one day, and what she did, and how it all ended, is absorbingly
related in "A Little Miss Nobody; Or, With the Girls of Pinewood Hall."
Nancy made a warm friend of a poor office boy who worked for that lawyer,
and this boy kept his eyes and ears open and learned many things.
The book tells much about boarding school life, of study and fun mixed,
and of a great race on skates. Nancy made some friends as well as enemies,
and on more than one occasion proved that she was "true blue" in the best
meaning of that term.

THE GIRL FROM SUNSET RANCH
Helen was very thoughtful as she rode along the trail from Sunset Ranch to
the View. She had lost her father but a month before, and he had passed
away with a stain on his name--a stain of many years' standing, as the
girl had just found out.
"I am going to New York and I am going to clear his name!" she resolved,
and just then she saw a young man dashing along, close to the edge of a
cliff. Over he went, and Helen, with no thought of the danger to herself,
went to the rescue.
Then the brave Western girl found herself set down at the Grand Central
Terminal in New York City. She knew not which way to go or what to do. Her
relatives, who thought she was poor and ignorant, had refused to even meet
her. She had to fight her way along from the start, and how she did this,
and won out, is well related in "The Girl from Sunset Ranch; Or, Alone in
a Great City."
This is one of the finest of Amy Bell Marlowe's books, with its
true-to-life scenes of the plains and mountains, and of the great
metropolis. Helen is a girl all readers will love from the start.

WYN'S CAMPING DAYS
"Oh, girls, such news!" cried Wynifred Mallory to her chums, one day. "We
can go camping on Lake Honotonka! Isn't it grand!"
It certainly was, and the members of the Go-Ahead Club were delighted.
Soon they set off, with their boy friends to keep them company in another
camp not far away. Those boys played numerous tricks on the girls, and the
girls retaliated, you may be sure. And then Wyn did a strange girl a
favor, and learned how some ancient statues of rare value had been lost in
the lake, and how the girl's father was accused of stealing them.
"We must do all we can for that girl," said Wyn. But this was not so easy,
for the girl campers had many troubles of their own. They had canoe races,
and one of them fell overboard and came close to drowning, and then came a
big storm, and a nearby tree was struck by lightning.
