The Beginning of the New Adventures

Les is excited when his family moves to the area where the original Sugar Creek books were set. He hopes that he can have some exciting adventures like those he's always read about. But they start even sooner then he expected.On his first morning there, he explores the creek, part of a county park. To his surprise, he finds a possum caught in a trap. Soon, he's trying to find the poacher with the help of his new friends Bits, Tiny, Lynn, and Mike. But can they solve this mystery?This is a great start to breathing new life into the Sugar Creek Gang name. The characters are well developed, and all have something to contribute to the group and the plot. The story moves along well, and the spiritual side of the story is fully explored without stopping the action.This is a book that kids of all ages should enjoy. I'm looking forward to reading the further adventures of the New Sugar Creek Gang.
