A Note from the Author
Dear Parents, The Mystery Bandit series was born out of a desire to give kids fun, funny, and meaningful stories they could enjoy-and that you could trust. These books are full of neighborhood adventures, clever mysteries, and quirky sibling dynamics that reflect the real (and often hilarious) chaos of family life. They are also written from a distinctly Christian worldview-one that values the Word of God, faith, truth, trust, forgiveness, kindness, courage, and more. My goal is not to proselytize or preach through fiction, but to offer wholesome stories that quietly reinforce the values so many of us care about-like dads who lead with love and are not portrayed as fools, kids who honor and obey their parents, and children who respect their teachers and other adults. Above all, these books affirm that there is one God and one Lord, Jesus Christ. If you're looking for a safe and silly read that makes your kids laugh and think, then I hope you find a home here in Bevier, Missouri, alongside the Dalrymples and the rest of their quirky, lovable town. Thank you for sharing these stories with your family. In Christ,
