C.J. and Ned see Hugh and his gang committing a crime and C.J. alerts the authorities. But Hugh discovers that C.J. turned him in and wants revenge! Now the club must protect one another from Hugh and his cronies. In his weakest moment, C.J. discovers he has a gift that could only have come from God.

Ned and C.J. break something in the Collins Mansion. Instead of confessing and asking for forgiveness, they deceitfully try to hide the evidence. Now, what should have been a small matter becomes a volcano in the hands of Mrs. Collins’ sister, Eunice McGruff!

Opening night of Miss Harbor’s new play is just days away, but the star is sick! Or is he? Staci and Marsha do their best to cure him, but C.J.’s real problem is fear. Will he find the real remedy in time to save the play?

A defiant Ned trespasses into an abandoned mine looking for gold. But what he finds there is more than he planned on! Now the results of Ned’s sin are growing out of control and begin to affect his friends. Will Ned, C.J., Staci and Gooz do the right thing before the Scarlet Stain spreads?

All they want to do is spend a day fishing at Blossom Lake, but Paw Paw Chuck and Staci are distracted at every turn. If God causes all things to work together for good, why is there no good in sight? Staci learns a valuable lesson about how God orders our every step to accomplish His will.

C.J. wants to run away from his problems… any place where they don’t have rules. But he quickly discovers that running away from his problems just makes more problems… for himself and for others! Will C.J. be able to escape his new life in time to save his father?

Hugh brags that his soapbox derby car is faster than Staci’s and dares her to try it out. Never one to back away from a challenge, Staci takes Hugh’s car for a spin… a spin that turns into disaster at the bottom of Hunker Hill! Now the club must decide whether to seek revenge, or to forgive.

Officer Hunt is on the case of a real “whodunit!” Gold and cargo have been stolen from Captain Reginald’s ship and Hunt must find the burglar.

There’s been a robbery at Mr. Crawford’s general store. Staci thinks she saw the culprit, but is warned by a mysterious visitor that if she knows what’s good for her, she’ll keep her mouth shut! Meanwhile, C.J. discovers the hard way that receiving God’s forgiveness isn’t hard at all.
