Sugar Creek Gang is a series of 36 Christian-themed children's literature books written by Paul Hutchens.[1] The original series is set near Thorntown, Indiana, and named for the nearby Sugar Creek, based upon the formative years of Paul and his six brothers, and chronicles adventure situations told from a faith-based didactic perspective.[1][2] The first book, The Sugar Creek Gang, was published in 1940; the final installment, The Brown Box Mystery, appeared in 1970.[3] During the 1950s, Hutchens received oral and written feedback from his readers "that they practically grew up on Sugar Creek books as their main reading diet during juvenile days."[4] In 2001, Pauline Hutchens Wilson took over her father's books with the release of The Case of the Red Hot Possum as the first book in "The New Sugar Creek Gang" series.[5][6]
