The Five Little Peppers need no introduction to the thousands of readers who have come to regard them with as much affection as though they were personal friends. This is the gay, warmhearted story of their school days and of the many adventures that are bound to befall such a lively group.

What happens when the yellow dog escapes from Joel's room at boarding school; how little David manages to stop the midnight fight between Joel and the spiteful Jenkins; how Dr. Marks helps Joel to realize that there is more to school than playing tennis—all this is only part of the story.

For Polly, too, is having her share of excitement. With her schoolmates from Miss Salisbury's, Polly narrowly escapes injury in a train wreck. As a result, the Salisbury girls combine with Jasper King and his Pemberton school friends to bring help and understanding to the children of a hero. The girls watch with delighted interest also the romance that starts when Lily breaks the rare bit of porcelain and brings two lonely, unhappy persons together.

The five irrepressible Peppers will renew old acquaintance and make many new friends in this altogether delightful story of their daily adventures in school.
