Adventure, mystery and excitement repeatedly thrust 13-year-old D. J. Dillon into the kind of trouble young readers love. A favorite of beginning readers, families, and teachers, this popular series follows D. J.'s adventures with bears and other wild animals in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. The chapter books are fun to read and reinforce traditional family values. Each story has a subtle evangelistic tone as well. A glossary is included in the back of each book that helps build vocabulary. This set is the last five books in the series.
