The Winter Rescue

By Paul Hutchens

The tales and travels of the Sugar Creek Gang have passed the test of time, delighting young readers for more than fifty years. Great mysteries for kids with a message, The Sugar Creek Gang series chronicles the faith-building adventures of a group of fun-loving, courageous Christian boys. Your kids will be thrilled, chilled, and inspired to grow as they follow the legendary escapades of Bill Collins, Dragonfly, and the rest of the gang as they struggle with the application of their Christian faith to the adventure of life. The last swim of the summer ends miserably for the Sugar Creek Gang when someone steals Little Jim's pet baby bear. The search for the missing bear cub takes the gang through the woods to Old Man Paddler's cabin. When winter arrives, the boys return to the cabin, where they receive a startling surprise. Join the gang as they discover the power of prayer.

Reviews for The Winter Rescue

[jenneth_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

When the Sugar Creek Gang finishes swimming in the swimming hole, Little Jim Gets a horrible shock. His pet bear named, Triangle is missing, and all that's left is his collar, cut in half. The Hell Fire Gang could have done it easily. When winter comes around, Old Man Paddler has disappeared. When the Gang goes to his cabin to see if he's ok, they find a big surprise! Without any matches to make a fire, night draws closer and the snow storm picks up and they didn't tell anyone where they were going. The only thing the Gang can do is pray. Hoping that God will give them an idea. Great book and lots of wondering:" What's going to happen?"
