Trouble in Tacoma
Coming April 2027 from Kregel Publications
🌲Timber & Trouble in the Wild Northwest
While her three older brothers work in the woods and at the family sawmill on Puget Sound, twelve‑year‑old Jenny and her two younger brothers—Micah and Gideon—find danger and adventure in the rugged forests and along the shores of this 1880 water world.
In Book One, trouble lands in Jenny’s lap when her mischievous Appaloosa, Raindrop, runs loose during a strict new livestock ordinance. Can she catch her horse before the pound master does? Later, real danger rises with the never‑ending rains and the swelling Puyallup River. A landslide and a massive logjam give the three explorers more adventure than they ever expected. Jenny must face her fears and learn to trust God for her family’s safety.
