Who would have thought that the tree house built near the creek would attract such an interesting visitor with roots in Sugar Creek territory? Why does the visitor have an artificial leg? What will the Sugar Creek Gang do when hateful vandals go on a rampage? The answers to these questions, and the importance of the simple song "Jesus Loves Me," are all found in The Tree House Mystery.
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.
