A: Your book is part of the Boys and Girls Classics Series. The publication date can be determined by looking at the ads in the back of the book and reviewing the information provided here: http://henryaltemus.com/series/series58.htm

Because of the condition and lack of interest in the title, in my opinion it has nominal value (A few dollars).

It is unclear whether this book is part of the Crestmont Series or the Rosemonte Series. This edition would have been sold within a labeled box which would answer the question. Unfortunately without the box, the series identification remains unknown.
