Peabody Adventures

Doc Ericson has just started a llama farm, north of Peabody, Wisconsin, and he asks Penny, Jack, and Scruggs to help out. As soon as they arrive at thge farm, however, strange things begin to happen. Who let the llamas run loose? Is somebody trying to make trouble for Doc Ericson and his llamas? And what about that telescope they discovered? Could it be watching them? When a pack of dogs is let loose on the farm, everybody realizes that there is an enemy who is not joking about trying to drive out Doc and his herd of llamas.When Jean arrives on the scene, Penny and Jack aren't at all sure they want their shy little sister hanging around. But Scruggs has some surprising things to say about that, and the four of them work together as a team to solve the mystery. After the harrowing events of 9/11, Jeri Massi did some soul searching and realized that she needed to live a more authentic, charitable, concerned Christian life. Already familiar with two cases of the abuse of children in Christian Fundamentalism, she decided to research and document cases in order to keep the sacred lives of these children public, so that their stories could not be hidden by the pastors in power in Fundamentalism. A graduate of Bob Jones University, she undertook reasearch of the structure on Christian Fundamentalism, its history, and other abuse cases that were hidden away in the back rooms of churches. At first naively thinking she might find as many as half a dozen cases, she soon realized that there surely were dozens of abuse cases in these churches, then as she continued to uncover cases, hundreds. After thirteen years of documenting cases, interviewing victims, and confronting pastors, she realized that sexually abusing children is as much a part of the church culture of Christian Fundamentalism as baptism by immersion and Wednesday night church suppers.

The whole gang from Peabody: Scruggs, Penny, Annette, Jack, and Jean, board a flight for a vacation in New England with Aunt Betty and Uncle Bill. But they find themselves abandoned in a strange, seemingly endless forest in the mountains. With very little food and no gear, they must keep moving as they try to figure out who has left them here, who is following them, and what they want.
