The Adventures of Nick & Sam: Summer Grace

The Adventures of Nick & Sam: Summer Grace

Introducing Book #8 in The Adventures of Nick & Sam!

July means two things for Nick & Sam: a big celebration on the Fourth, and going to Camp W. And both offer a few surprises. Who knew that watching fireworks from Chimney Hill would lead to more mystery surrounding a house that burned to the ground? Or that camp would be filled with crazy games, angry bees, strange thieves, a powerboat, and sleep-walking? With Summer Grace, readers see first-hand the moments of grace God wants us all to share.  200 pp.

Nicolas (Nick) and Samantha (Sam) Perry are twins in the Perry family. They moved with their parents, their brother Andrew, and their sister Lizzy, to Hope Springs early in the summer. Hope Springs is a fictional town near the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. It is a town that has a lot of fun things to do.

This series presents the adventures of the twins, their family, their friends, and the people they encounter at school, church, and in town. It presents Catholic culture easily and normally, and provides opportunities for readers to think about the consequences of words and actions. The likeable and engaging characters reflect the sensibilities and struggles of being Catholic in the little town of Hope Springs, playing out their faith at the St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Church and School, with their neighborhood friends and adversaries, and in the many adventures that makes the teachings of the Church come alive.

This series is written similarly to the Adventures in Odyssey series and the Magic Tree House Series, and is recommended for readers ages seven and up, but can also be read by parents to younger children.
