Five Little Peppers Midway

In New England in the late nineteenth century, a fatherless family, happy in spite of its impoverished condition, is befriended by a very rich gentleman and his young son.

In "Five Little Peppers Grown Up" by Margaret Sidney, the story continues with the Pepper siblings—Ben, Polly, Joel, Davie, and Phronsie—now all grown up and embarking on new adventures. Set against the backdrop of their adult lives, the narrative explores how each sibling navigates the challenges and opportunities that come with maturity. As the Pepper siblings face the complexities of adulthood, they rely on the lessons and values instilled in them during their formative years. The bonds of family and friendship remain strong, and the story follows their individual paths while highlighting the enduring connections that have been woven throughout their lives. "Five Little Peppers Grown Up" captures the essence of personal growth, the evolution of relationships, and the nostalgia of revisiting beloved characters as they navigate the adult world. Readers are invited to witness the continued development of the Peppers and the enduring impact of their familial and friendly ties.

Even their snooty cousin's coming to stay can't ruin the Pepper children's joy in their mother's wedding.

Five Little Peppers Midway By Margaret Sidney

Families with boys often find the world reacts to them in mock horror. Even though parents love their sons, privately they admit that boys can be a handful to raise--they are boisterous, competitive, reckless, distractable. The challenge of wills between parent and son starts early, and the quest to civilize young bulls may seem hopeless some days. Yet believers know that God has given them children as a gift of heaven, specially chosen for their particular families and marked as a blessing. If that's so, why does it seem so hard? How can we prepare these boys to serve God when it's all we can do to make it through another day? Isn't there a better way? Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys shows the answer is emphatically yes. Written by the parents of six boys, Raising Real Men provides hope and encouragement to families with sons. Starting from the premise that God made boys to become men, Hal and Melanie Young offer Biblical principles and tested, practical ideas for training the manly virtues that can drive parents and teachers up the wall. This is a practical guide to equipping the hearts and minds of boys without breaking or losing your own.
