Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Children's book, radio, and DVD series about a group of kids who live near Sugar Creek in Indiana, who solve mysteries and go on adventures. Originally started in 1939, and still sold today. Very Christian in theme, with many overt references to Jesus, the Bible, and (the Christian) God coming from the characters' dialog and internal monologue. Despite that, the actual stories themselves are a mix between Slice of Life and "Hardy Boys in a rural setting" than anything else, and play out like kids' adventures that just happen to have lots of Christian references.The Christian references are toned down considerably in the movies, to make them less preachy and more enjoyable to a general non-Christian audience.Not to be confused with the Sugar ''Hill'' Gang.

Kid Detective: The gang solves one mystery per novel. The same goes for the movie-verse.

Gender Flip: To add a girl to the cast, the movies take Circus, one of the boys in the gang, and turn him into a tomboyish girl.

One of the Boys: Circus's character in the movies. She loves climbing trees, doesn't mind getting dirty, and can scuffle with the boys.

comment
Does Not Like Shoes: These kids don't, seriously. In the movies, the girl likes them less than the boys do. She also seems to have the magical ability to instantly switch back and forth between bare feet and fully laced shoes with socks several times in the same scene.

Braids of Action: Circus is seen with braided hair in all five movies. In the second half of the third movie, however, she lets her hair hang loose.
