The Case of the Missing Calf

Sugar Creek Gang #33

by Paul Hutchens

Little Jim's calf Wandering Winnie has vanished into thin air. Has someone stolen her? Will Little Jim's offer of a $100 reward help lead to her recovery? All these questions are answered in The Case of the Missing Calf . This final installment of the Sugar Creek Gang series also gives a wonderful example of the power of sacrificial love.

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 milllion 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 Creed excitement.

I thought the writing was horrible. My son seemed bored with the long, wordy chapters and fell asleep a couple of times when we read, which never happens. But it did get exciting in the end so a second star for that.

A product of it’s time, this book denotes gender normative ideology representative of the 1964 copyright date. Would not recommend for today’s youth as it promotes children putting themselves in dangerous situations to figure things out themselves. Though it promotes the idea of a God fearing nation and critical thinking, it is completed in such a way that it may demoralizes non-Christians.

My love of reading started when i was young, and it gives me immense pleasure to provide books to Spread the Word Nevada, an organization that passes them on to children in the community. They are a terrific organization supporting an important cause. If your local I encourage you to check them out. For those living further a field, look in your own community, their may already be a similar program in place. And if not, you can always help start one.

Myself, I go out on the weekends and
shop thrift store and bulk book lots to rescue books and donate them. Sometimes I'll find a book I remember reading when I was young and will read it again before passing it on.

I don't rate these books using my normal scale, instead I give most of them three stars. This isn't a Criticism of the book, simply my way of rating them as good for children.
