Christian Adventure Book that Points Kids to Jesus

The Adventures of the BUG Boys
A faith-filled adventure series for kids ages 10–12

What starts as a scavenger hunt becomes something much bigger.

The Adventures of the BUG Boys is a Christian middle-grade adventure series that follows three sixth-grade friends, Zeke, Josiah, and David, as they race through their small town solving clues, facing challenges, and discovering truths that point them back to God.

This isn’t just a fun, small-town mystery. It’s a story about faith, forgiveness, and learning to live for something greater than yourself.

What Makes the Book Unique?

  • Faith-based but not preachy

  • Great for reluctant readers, especially boys ages 9 –12

  • Filled with humor, heart, and high-stakes clues

  • Designed for homeschool families, Christian educators, and youth ministries

  • Includes a companion devotional series with scripture, discussion, and reflection prompts

Who Are the BUG Boys?

BUG stands for Brothers Under God, and each of the boys has something to figure out:

  • Zeke is smart, quiet, and uses a wheelchair after a life-changing injury.

  • Josiah is witty and real, but unsure where he fits in his own faith.

  • David is the youngest of twelve brothers and the loudest by far.

Together, they uncover a series of clues that lead to something bigger than any of them expected: a reminder that Jesus meets us right where we are—even when we’re not looking.

What Readers Can Expect

  • A clean, faith-friendly read with real questions and honest conversations

  • Characters who feel relatable, not perfect

  • A story with depth and fun that opens the door to Gospel conversations

Whether it’s read in a homeschool setting, a youth group night, or curled up before bed, The Adventures of the BUG Boys helps kids grow in courage, connection, and truth.
