Synopsis

Bob Ryan’s fortunes have changed this year and he is now one of the top students at St. Xavier’s School in Cincinnati.  But his personality is as magnetic as it ever was, and he wisely uses his influence over others to quell petty rivalries and help those in need.  But the mystery of his abandonment by his father is still unsolved, and when jealous tongues begin to wag, Bob feels it deeply.  Have all his efforts been in vain?  With no family and no money, what will the future hold for our friendly hero?

About this title

Review:

“Bob is a splendidly conceived type of a healthy boy, and lads who accompany the young hero through the rapidly moving vicissitudes of his year in Pioneer Street will be all the better, as well as happier, for the association.”  (American Ecclesiastical Review, December 1917)

“It is surely a compliment to an author and a proof of his power as a story-teller when his readers cry for more of the same kind, and crave for the opportunity of following their favorite characters through new adventures, rather than to be introduced to newcomers.  That compliment has been paid to Father Finn not once, but many times.  It is paid to him again in the present instance, for His Luckiest Year is not only a sequel to Lucky Bob, but it is also in the same series as Tom Playfair, Percy Wynn, etc.  Readers of Lucky Bob will welcome this new story, in which the vividly interesting young hero comes into his own at last, after a year of struggle and adventure in a large city.”  (American Catholic Quarterly Review, October 1917)
