内容简介
The Errand Boy is a gripping story about the power of hard work, honesty, and above all, kindness. Life has not been kind to Philip Brent lately. With his father recently dead, he is left at the mercy of his unkind stepmother and her bullying son Jonas. But there is another blow - in a moment of anger, Mrs. Brent reveals that Philip was not even her late husband's real son. Unwilling to endure a life of dependence on those who despise him (and unknowingly cheated out of a considerable inheritance), Philip decides to sell what possessions he has and head to New York City to seek his fortune. One of Horatio Alger, Jr.'s famous 'rags-to-riches' stories, The Errand Boy will have you turning pages and cheering on its courageous hero
