Short little mystery for kids! I used to love these books and highly recommend them to any kid (even though I don’t find them as enchanting any more). Great Biblical principles too.

3.5 stars, rounded up. The storyline kind of meanders along as is typical with SCG books, but doesn’t actually get to the point until the last two or three chapters.

I read this to my kids, and while I understand the author’s intent of putting in a strong biblical emphasis, (and normalizing godly, Christian living- which I appreciated) I cringed slightly in some places at the somewhat judgmental way in which it came across. I say that gently, because I don’t believe the author at all was trying to be judgmental, or had any malicious intentions, but the book at times, did give off some holier-than-thou vibes.

Overall, easy, short read, relaxed, fun, predictable storyline, and will continue in the series.

From airplanes to Chigcargo, to songs on radio, to wild animals in the zoo.
There's lots of adventures for the Sugar Creek Boys, and one that really tested
all of them to their very core and faith. But you will have to pick up the "The Chicago Adventure " and read it to find out. A great story, one your kids won't
want to miss out on. You can buy one at a time or in book bundles like books 1- 6
The Sugar Creek Gang.

I recently picked this book up at a yard sale -I was born and raised in Chicago - and remembering reading this book after my brother was done with it - Faith and Adventure - A Classic for me

This was a good one! A thinly veiled advertisement for Moody was in there, too.

Christian Middle Grade Fiction
For boys (or girls ;)
I love how the boys are just the right blend of taking their faith seriously while also being wild and dumb 10 year olds. Very enjoyable!

Loved this series when I was a kid. I had all but this one, so I never read it until my wife bought me a copy to complete my collection.

Honestly, it wasn't very good.
