This series of short stories are intended for children ages 8 to 15. It is about a group of children who started the Persimmon Detective Agency to solve mysteries while on summer break from school. I wanted children to have something to read that has Judeo-Christian values and not what secular schools are forcing on our children today including asking children to explore their sexuality, question their gender, and rebel against parental controls.
