Book Guide
Adventures, friendships, and faith-testers . . . all under the watchful eye of a great big God.
The Tree Street Kids live on Cherry, Oak, Maple, and Pine, but their 1990s suburban neighborhood is more than just quiet, tree-lined streets. Jack, Ellison, Roger, and Ruthie face challenges and find adventures in every creek and cul-de-sac—as well as God's great love in one small neighborhood.
In the first book of the Tree Street Kids series, 10-year-old Jack is shocked to discover his parents are moving from their rural homestead to the boring suburbs of Chicago. Full of energy and determination, Jack devises a plan to get himself back to his beloved farmhouse forever. Only three things stand in his way: a neighbor in need, a shocking discovery, and tornado season. Will Jack find a solution? Or is God up to something bigger than Jack can possibly imagine?

Reviews
Jack vs. The Tornado
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
Jack’s family lives in rural Illinois on a multigenerational family farm. The story opens with Jack lamenting that the worst birthday present a kid could get is to have to move away from the farm (and his amazing barn fort) and to move to the suburbs. Jack’s grandparents and parents never have enough money in the bank to pay all of the bills on time. And so, Jack’s father travels to Wisconsin to do construction work to try to make up the difference, but it is time to sell the farm. Jack is miserable and resigned to hate their new home.
