The Watermelon Mystery

What do a stolen watermelon and a grocery store robbery have in common? You'll have to read The Watermelon Mystery to find out. First, Bill and Poetry discover somebody's watermelon in their favorite spring. Next, they spot a thief in the Collins' melon patch. And then there's that mysterious rowboat on Sugar Creek in the middle of the night. Tracking down a mystery requires courage and conviction on the part of the Sugar Creek Gang. Before the mystery is solved, the boys learn the importance of forgiving those who have sinned against us. 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.
