Another Camping adventure
Well another fine pickle, and adventure for the Sugar Creek Gang. That's what happens when you get seven ruff and ready for anything boys together. Well they didn't dissapoint you this time either. With all the excitement it's a wonder they find time to eat and sleep.well you will just have to pick up a copy and read it yourself to find out all about it. The gang won't let you down. Debra H.
and that makes me so happy! He has enough negative influences in his life ...
My 6 year old son and I have really been enjoying this series. He seems to be captivated enough to request the second set, and that makes me so happy! He has enough negative influences in his life that I am trying to combat, so I'm hoping these books will have a lasting positive outcome. If you're on the fence, give them a try, they are very affordable, and I think you will be very pleased!
Great books for young men!
This series of books is a must have for any young boy! My sons read them faster than I can buy them. I would HIGHLY recommend these to any boy over the age of 9 or so. They are Christian books about a young group of boys that live near Sugar Creek. The books cover all their adventures and exploits as they learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this series!

My 10 year old son has read all of these and requested I by the rest. He loves the adventure, although he says at times it can be intense....that seems to be a positive since it keeps him reading!!
Great reading for boys
My twin boys love this series and ask me to read it to them all the time, we've read almost 20 books now in less than a year. I love that the content is safe I don't have to worry about what kind of language the characters are going to use or that they will promote poor behavior. Love this series!
