A Dangerous Game (The Peabody Series Book 2)

Scruggs Grady is about to have his dream come true: a home of his very own. But disaster strikes when a mysterious aunt pops up and whisks him away from the cold but familiar snowbanks of Wisconsin to the bustling streets of San Francisco. To muddle things even more, a secret note warns him to beware of the "Juggler!"

In the second book of the Peabody series, Scruggs finds himself caught in the middle of a ring of international spies, and they are trying to get rid of a stolen piece of technology. He has to decide who to trust among the strangers he meets, and he has to rely on his wits and courage as he tries to find a way back to the home he has longed for in Peabody, Wisconsin.

Maintaining a high level of suspense while keeping all religious talk as a mere undercurrent, this book (and series) ought to be a staple in adventure novels for Christian youth of all stripes.

"Every year the antics of the Peabody kids were a new thrill for my students and a much-anticipated reading class for me."

Lightly updated for 2023, A Dangerous Game has a new cover and new interior artwork. In addition, I have removed some of the heavy handed editing that was done over the years by BJU Press. I've made the story move even faster, keeping the danger and suspense high. I hope that you enjoy this vivid restored edition. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
