THE YOUNG PIONEERS SERIES - BOOK 2 ANTHOLOGY The Boy and the Tall, Tall Rock (Story 1) Maxwell Sinclair sat in his place in the schoolroom with excitement bumps popping up on his arms. He had his pencil and paper ready and his fingers jittered with eagerness. Would the teacher ever get through so he could begin? Because what he was going to write was turning hand-stands in his stomach. Abbie and the Saucy Black Bird (Story 2) There are two special kinds of girls. There are those who have a lot of words in their heads and like to say them, and the other kind of girls are so nosey and curious that they listen a lot of the time instead of talking. Abigail Brownley, age ten, was one of the nosey kind. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ms. Joann Klusmeyer is the daughter of pioneer missionary parents.
