Anabaptist Bookstore: True to the Last

Where seekers come . . . .

True to the Last Evelyn Everett Green

DISCONTINUED [True to the Last] This is a captivating story for young boys who face the choice of "following the crowd" or doing what is right, and who must live with the consequences of their choices.
Arnold, a lame and sickly boy, goes to live with his mother's friend, "Aunt Mary," her brother Reginald, and his two sons, Geoffrey and Ted.
Arnold soon learns to share Geoffrey's love of nature and his joy knows no bounds when Geoffrey accepts him as a partner in taking care of his garden and the animals.
Then Arthur, a boy with a bent towards trouble making, lying, and deceit, comes to stay. By his strong influence, he soon gains Ted and Arnold as followers.
A prize butterfly collection is ruined and to Arthur's delight, the blame is wrongfully placed on Geoffrey. Arnold, guilt-stricken by his own deceit in the matter, spends the most miserable week of his life as Geoffrey, an active outdoors-loving boy, is confined to the house for punishment.
One night a bright ruddy light streaming into the room awakens the boys. The barn is on fire! Little do they realize the long-term consequences of the fire, for changes that bring both happiness and sadness will come to this house.
