The Brown Box Mystery

Two leather-jacketed motorcycle gang members ride into town and steer the Sugar Creek Gang into a dangerous adventure.  Two mysterious boxes form the heart of this mystery.  Before it's over, the Sugar Creek Gang find themselves held hostage in Old Man Paddler's cabin.  Read along as the gang sees a father's love in action, the kind that will track down a son who has gone astray.

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.
