One Stormy Day

Sugar Creek Gang #9

by Paul Hutchens

The Sugar Creek Gang's school gets a new teacher—a man. And that spells trouble. When their old teacher shows up to surprise them with a midday sleigh ride, things start looking up for the boys. Until Bill Collins throws a snowball that accidently hits Mr. Black, the new teacher. Learn the importance of self-sacrifice as Little Jim offers to take Bill's punishment, even though he doesn't deserve it.

The Sugar Creek Gang series chronicles the faith-building adventures of a group of fun-loving, courageous Christian boys. These classic stories have been inspiring children to grow in their faith for more than five decades. More than three million copies later, children continue to grow up relating to members of the gang as they struggle with the application of their Christian faith to the adventure of life.

Now that these stories have been updated for a new generation, you and your child can join in the Sugar Creek excitement.

There are days, then there are days. The Sugar Creek Gang is having one of
those days when every thing goes from bad to living nightmares. Follow the
boys as they deal with all these trials and tribulations. Where every thing is
going against them, and wondering if they will even survive it. Grab your copy
and read. You think you had a bad day.....walk through theirs.

Yikes! It sounds like someone had an inner storm, and not just the one outside! My favorite part of this story was little Jim’s demonstration of how Jesus took our punishment in our place. Praise God! Very well done!

I was staying with a friend while attending a conference. In my bedroom, my friend had a small shelf of about 30 books, most of them children and youth. I picked this one.

My version was a hard cover printed in 1952. So, not much had been edited or changed from the original versions. I endured the experience.

First person narration of a young boy does not make for good reading. The author demonstrated tremendous skill in mimicking the thought patterns of a his target audience. Young boys do not have linear thought patterns; it makes for nauseating reading. Far worse than spider-webbing conversations.

The story did not have the mystery of the other books. It tells the life of Bill Collins on his first day back to school after Christmas break.
