Summary: "Charlie Bell, The Waif of Elm Island" by Elijah Kellogg is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work follows the journey of Charlie Bell, an English orphan with a troubled past, who finds himself taken in by a couple, Ben and Sally Rhines, on a remote island after escaping from a gang of pirates disguised as fishermen. The story explores themes of resilience, community, and personal growth as Charlie navigates his new life and seeks to contribute to his adoptive family. The opening of the novel establishes a backdrop of hardship during the Revolutionary War era, painting a vivid picture of life on Elm Island.
