The motorboat Vida Eterna is racing up and down Sugar Creek and leaving excitement in its wake. Its owner, John Fenwick, a missionary to Costa Rica, and his wife are spending a month in the new Sugar Creek missionary cabin. A new rifle and a fishing tackle box lead to some life or death adventures for the Sugar Creek Gang. As you read this book, you'll see the importance of swimming upstream with your life, like the Sugar Creek Gang, rather than floating downstream, like an old dead fish.
