Someone is stealing muskrats from Circus's traps. When the Sugar Creek Gang follows his hunting dog Old Jay, they discover much more than a raccoon trapped in a tree. This Indian summer adventure includes Halloween pranks, a wild truck ride through an apple orchard, and some genuine fistfights. Everything isn't always what it appears to be on the surface as the Sugar Creek Gang learns that honesty is more than just the best policy...it's the way God commands us to live.

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.


Paul Hutchens's memories of childhood adventures around the fishing hole, the swimming hole, the island, and the woods that surround Indiana's Sugar Creek inspired these beloved tales.
