The mission was supposed to be fun-even funny-but things got serious quick. What follows is a daring journey with narrow escapes, attack dogs, deadly fires, and a friendship forged in shared peril.
Three young friends embark on an intrepid quest to retrieve a priceless treasure guarded by a menacing villian. But this is no fantasy. For Scott and his friends Tommy and Dooley, the danger is all too real. Unlikely heroes will emerge. Enemies will become allies. Powerful truths will be revealed.
Amid the abundant humor and action, The Found Boys explores deep themes of forgiveness and reconciliation.

The Found Boys by S. D. Smith is an exciting and interesting story about ordinary boys growing up in two churches on either side of the river in 1980s West Virginia. Scott and Tommy are white boys from Valley Baptist Church who like to jump off of swings, shoot hoops, run along the shoreline, and chase after adventure. Dooley is a black kid from Mt. Zion Baptist church who likes to do pretty much the same things. When the boys agree not to fight over their differences but instead join together on a mission to steal something from the junkyard, they get a lot more than they bargained for.

The Found Boys
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
My children do not know what the Ku Klux Klan is. They are 17, 15, and 13. I am both mortified by that and grateful at the same time. I thank God that stories of the Klan are less prevalent today than they once were. But I know that doesn’t mean that fallen man is any less fallen today than he was when such stories were commonplace. Have you taught your children about the Klan? When did you tell them that horror story? How did you do it? When is the right time to tell children in this fallen world about nightmares they don’t already have?
