Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charlie Bell: The Waif of Elm Island There is a period in the life of all boys, when, in the homely phrase of Uncle Isaac, "they stand up edgeways." At this critical period, as streams are tinged by the soils through which they filter, so their character for life is in a great measure shaped by their playmates, the examples set before them, and the associations amid which they grow up. Lion Ben, the principal character in the first volume of the series, with nothing but his hands, narrow axe, and a true-hearted, loving woman, - this equal in enterprise, - goes on to an island, an, unbroken forest in the midst of breakers, that, by reason of the peril of living on it, can be bought cheap, thus coming within their scanty means, there to struggle for a homestead and acres of their own.
