Beyond Expectations
Previously released as Cunning Capers, Exciting Escapades
Something strange is stirring in Odyssey, where nothing is quite what it seems. A smooth-talking stranger promises success for a price, a chain letter threatens bad luck to anyone who throws it away, and a visiting cousin unpacks a "game" that feels far too real to be pretend. Whispered secrets, missing money, a mysterious ring... how can anyone tell the truth from a clever imitation? It's up to Whit, Connie, Jimmy, Robyn and the rest to look beneath the surface - and what they find will test their honesty, their friendships and their faith. Some lessons come the hard way. Some adventures go beyond expectations. Are you ready to discover what's really underneath?
