"[...] "It's—nothing; you wouldn't understand, child," said Polly quickly. "There, don't ask." Phronsie crept away in a grieved fashion, to be presently folded into Polly's warm arms. "I'm bad to-day, Phronsie dear. There, Pet, now you are all right, aren't you?" as she hugged her close. "I am, if you are, Polly," said Phronsie doubtfully. "Well, I'm all right now," said Polly, her brow clearing; "the bad has gone at last, I hope, to stay away, Phronsie. Now I must hurry and eat this nice luncheon you've fixed for me;" and she sprang toward the table. "Don't you want to write a note first?" asked Phronsie, wondering at Polly's strange mood, and following her to the table-edge, "you said so." "No; I've given it up," said Polly, sitting down and beginning on her chop[...]".

I was so attached to this book that when I went to college, I took it along. When my roommate discovered I had this book, she carried it off and ignored everything else (including homework!) for several days. My copy traveled four floors of my dorm, and while returning it, I met girls who had read it and loved it, but never could find a copy to buy; girls who had never known that a sequel to the Peppers existed, and were delighted to read it for the first time; and girls who read it because they were curious as to what dozens of their doormmates were getting so excited about. When I left my dorm, I donated the book to our dorm library so every succeeding generation can discover this wonderful book.It is truly one of the best children's books out there. The character's are the same loveable but delightfully human ones we met in "The Five Little Peppers." The boys are off at a bording school, and the fights, challenges and school comraderies are as diverting as they must have been to readers of the time. Polly is at an exclusive girl's school as a day pupil, and her experiences are what all my doormates were fascinated by. The way these girls reacted with each other, the degrees of friendship between girls, and especially the interaction of these teenage girls with the young men in their lives are intriguing to read about. The book has a gently moralistic tone, as did the first, that should not put off readers. It offers a unique glimpse of what people can be: charitable, family-oriented, intelligent, loyal, and especially resourceful. In an age where we are bombarded with sex, violence, and never-ending confessionals, this book is a breath of fresh air. Take it off the shelf and enjoy it.Incidentally, the Pepper series does not stop here. I was told by my dorm librarian that there is even a book about Phronsie's teenage years that was her favourite, but has since gone of out print. Maybe Amazon will find this one for us too.

It centers around Joel, the middle Pepper child. The Pepper children are: Ebenezer (Ben), Mary (Polly), Joel, David, and Saphronia (Phronsie). They live in 19th centry New England in their little brown house with their "Mamsie". Their dad died when Phronsie was a baby. This book has everything from fires to circuses and a bull to a snake. The Peppers are very, very poor but they always seem to have good times in spite of it. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did and if you like this book don't fail to read the other 11, if you havent already. Michael

I found Polly a wonderful role model and she helped me feel like I wasn't so alone in my troubles. I read it over and over. I tried to follow her example as the oldest child in how I helped my brother and sister. It also helped me realize that money is helpful but there are more important things. Even though it is set in a bygone era, the essence of the book is timeless and classic.When I was young and poor, it was one of the few books I was allowed and I treasured it. And, even though I'm a bookworm and have read many other books, it will always be my favorite.
