Another Camping adventure
Well another fine pickle, and adventure for the Sugar Creek Gang. That's what happens when you get seven ruff and ready for anything boys together. Well they didn't dissapoint you this time either. With all the excitement it's a wonder they find time to eat and sleep.well you will just have to pick up a copy and read it yourself to find out all about it. The gang won't let you down. Debra H.
and that makes me so happy! He has enough negative influences in his life ...
My 6 year old son and I have really been enjoying this series. He seems to be captivated enough to request the second set, and that makes me so happy! He has enough negative influences in his life that I am trying to combat, so I'm hoping these books will have a lasting positive outcome. If you're on the fence, give them a try, they are very affordable, and I think you will be very pleased!
Great books for young men!
This series of books is a must have for any young boy! My sons read them faster than I can buy them. I would HIGHLY recommend these to any boy over the age of 9 or so. They are Christian books about a young group of boys that live near Sugar Creek. The books cover all their adventures and exploits as they learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this series!

My 10 year old son has read all of these and requested I by the rest. He loves the adventure, although he says at times it can be intense....that seems to be a positive since it keeps him reading!!
Great reading for boys
My twin boys love this series and ask me to read it to them all the time, we've read almost 20 books now in less than a year. I love that the content is safe I don't have to worry about what kind of language the characters are going to use or that they will promote poor behavior. Love this series!

Perfect family read
Great series for family time reading! Keeps the whole family captivated with adventures, all with wholesome morals. A glimpse into life before gadget overload.
Actually enjoys reading...
Always enjoyable
Six Great Books in One!
I liked the plot because it was very adventurous, and because the characters were christians. People who are christians, people who like adventure, or both would really like this series and this set of books. I would have liked to rate this series of books with 100,000,000 stars but there were only five so I did all the stars because this series has so much action and adventure going on in it.
Five Stars
Wonderful books with good morals and lessons and fun adventure.

My 5 yr old son loves these books
Great books
Great book series for my boys. The adventures are fun and the strong morals are a delight to my heart.
For boys, about boys
The Sugar Creek Gang books are so fun. Don't expect a safe, bike-helmeted, knee-padded world. They are out for adventure and find it, but through it all there is a unifying thread of old-fashioned values, including loyalty, honesty, and strength. My son loves these, and they made me laugh, too.
Great for boys and girls!
My family LOVES sugar creek gang! Such awesome books. We've read books 1-14 and plan to purchase the rest of the series soon. Awesome awesome!! My children that love it most are 10 and 8 year old girls. We learned about them from 10 and 6 year old boys who love them just as much!
Nice books
My son loves these books. They Contain great character lessons. He can not wait to read the rest of them.
All of them
These books have a lot of fun for my son. It is hard to find quality boy books and these fit the bill.
Grandson loved it
Grandson loved it. Read it for the reading program at his school and took a graded reading test which he passed.
Discipleship 101 for kids... and a whole LOT more!!
I am a mom to 5 boys and our family has been hooked on the adventures of the Sugar Creek Gang for a few years now! We originally discovered the stories through an awesome set of cassette tapes. The books were dramatized for an radio series by Paul Ramseyer of Northwestern College Radio in Minnesota and our family is now a part of the ministry, helping to produce the audio series for families to enjoy at home! Do you want your children to learn gentle lessons of courage, faith & friendship on THEIR level? Do you want to see real growth in their character? The stories are fun adventures with the truth of God's plans woven skillfully throughout. See the world through the eyes of Bill Collins, a freckle-faced, firey-tempered red head. You'll enjoy Bill's antics and the barefoot fun of all the boys in the "gang"! (As a side note, I do recommend the books be read in order. They tell an ongoing story from beginning to end.) From the back of the tapes: "Step back in time... to one-room schoolhouses, hot summer days of fishing, fun and barefoot boys. Sugar Creek Gang stories engage the imagination and draw a child's heart into a living relationship with God! Hymns, scripture verses, nature lore, poetry; sensitivity toward the disabled, the oppressed... and the courage and confidence to share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ." --- Just the right recipe for training up a child!
