Customer Reviews

A good story surrounded by evangelism
On one level, "The Sugar Creek Gang" (original title) is a typical, slightly over-the-top boys' yarn of adventure. But unless the current paperbacks have been heavily edited, the books are crammed with mini-sermons and asides that cram evangelical Christianity down the reader's throat, as well as some comments that would be considered racist today. It is entirely possible to write a book that will appeal to children and present Christian values more subtly ("The Chronicles of Narnia", for example). But Hutchens is apparently not one for subtlety.
