About this book
Bustling streets, unexpected rescues, and sibling mischief await in The Bobbsey Twins in a Great City by Laura Lee Hope, a lively entry in the beloved Bobbsey Twins series. This classic early-20th-century fiction follows the two sets of Bobbsey children as they leave familiar country life for the excitement of New York — trains, department stores, theatres, and the puzzles of city living provide a string of wholesome adventures.
Laura Lee Hope blends family warmth, gentle mystery, and comic mishaps as the twins navigate crowded platforms, a bustling store “camp,” and surprising encounters underground and onstage. Themes of teamwork, curiosity, and resilience shine through episodic episodes that reflect the era’s charm and manners while introducing young listeners to historical urban life and travel. The tone remains light and reassuring, with episodic suspense rather than perilous drama, making it an ideal historical juvenile tale for modern ears.
Perfect for fans of classic children’s fiction, family-friendly adventure, and listeners seeking a slice of 1910s Americana, this Teen/Young Adult audiobook offers nostalgia, simple moral lessons, and read-aloud appeal — a delightful listen for family storytime or anyone who loves vintage, character-driven adventures.
