Old Man Paddler sends the Sugar Creek Gang to a beautiful Caribbean island to find his missing twin brother.

A goat and a lottery ticket become the key to restoring Mr. Paddler. Discover the difference between fate and God's control of the events in our lives.

Another great adventure for the Gang. Especially in another country. Lots of
excitement, and lots of people. Can't tell you any thing else but the boys are
at it again with another Mystery to solve, Sugar Creek Gang style. This one is
hard to put down. Grab a copy for yourself, then round up your family. Then
get comfortable and start the Sugar Creek Gang's wild adventure.

As a child I read the 1969 version entitled Sugar Creek Gang on Palm Tree Island. I believe this is the same story.

This book was pretty slow but had plenty of good parts in it. I especially liked the Christian aspect in this book.

This did not age well. We would consider it racist today. Also plot was a little more convoluted than usual.

Read an older edition, hardcover, with thick cream-colored pages and a different title. It was "The Sugar Creek Gang Flies to Cuba." But it was basically the same book, I expect. Not so much my thing now, but I guess it was pretty average for the series at the time.
