Professional Reviews
:	New York Times: "Published in 1868, [this book] was the first of more than 100 young-adult novels by Alger in which poor but virtuous boys ultimately gained respectability and, sometimes, riches....As simplistic as it sounds, this short book is an entertaining cultural artifact that offered inspiration to generations of young Americans."

More Information
Details:	The hero of 'Ragged Dick' is a veritable 'diamond in the rough'-as innately virtuous as he is streetwise and cocky. Immediately popular with young readers, the novel also appealed to parents, who responded to its colorful espousal of the Protestant ethic. 'Struggling Upward' published nearly thirty years later, followed the same time-tested formulas, and despite critical indifference it, too, had mass appeal.
