Book 9 — Ricky, Ray & Rusty Explore the Land of Giants (Redwoods & Sequoias)

Three hilarious brothers, one Bible-toting aunt, a calm uncle, and a van that smells faintly of pine sap… what could go wrong? Join Ricky (12), Ray (11), and Rusty (10) as they trek from the foggy coast redwoods to the snow-kissed giant sequoias—learning how God’s greatness shows up in creation’s tallest and most massive trees.

With Psalm 92:12 as their compass—“The righteous…will grow like a cedar of Lebanon”—the crew earns Junior Ranger badges, measures trees with “similar triangles” (and sometimes a rubber snake), glides through a tunnel log (after removing a suspicious roof cooler), and tiptoes through a night hike with owls, foxfire, and a flying squirrel. Along the way they discover resilience (fire scars), community (root networks), and steadiness (growth rings)… plus the art of “pineapple diplomacy.”

• Faith + STEM: Fog drip, fire ecology, burls & nurse logs—tied to biblical truth.
• Laugh-out-loud scenes: Bear-paw mittens, the Tunnel Log incident, and more.
• Built-in learning: 5 discussion questions per chapter (with answer key) & a glossary.

Perfect for: ages 8–12, family read-aloud, classrooms, Sunday school, and homeschool nature units.

If your reader loves national parks, laughable characters, and seeing faith lived out under even bigger trees, this joyful adventure will have them standing tall, staying kind, and rooting deep.
