Left to Themselves

Mr. Sip is grumbling that Nature has never served him a proper breakfast when he spots Gerald Saxton across the brook—with a watch, a lunch basket, and no idea how close danger is.

On a summer day near the Ossokosee House, Gerald is fishing in a quiet ravine when a shabby tramp takes an interest in his watch—and charges after him when Gerald runs. Philip Touchtone sees the danger from a nearby farmyard and races to help. Their meeting turns a frightening chase into the start of a friendship, but the two boys have much to learn about courage, trust, and each other. What will this first ordeal lead them into next?
