{"product_id":"9781455412242","title":"Wait and Hope or A Plucky Boy's Luck","description":"Popular novel first published in 1909. According to Wikipedia: \"Horatio Alger, Jr. (January 13, 1832 – July 18, 1899) was a prolific 19th-century American author, best known for his many formulaic juvenile novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of respectable middle-class security and comfort through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. He initially wrote and published for adults, but a friendship with boys' author William Taylor Adams led him to writing for the young. He published for years in Adams's Student and Schoolmate, a boys' magazine of moral writings. His lifelong theme of \"rags to respectability\" had a profound impact on America in the Gilded Age.\"","brand":"B\u0026R Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179765711088,"sku":"9781455412242","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455412242_p0.jpg?v=1763858556","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455412242","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
