A homeless girl lives by her wits on the streets of New York until it is discovered that she’s the long-lost heir to a fortune. In the preface of this book, Alger alerts his readers that Tattered Tom is a girl. She wears a skirt but defends herself admirably against everyone, including her abusive guardian, Margeret.
