Product Description
Scruggs Grady is close to having his dream come true--a home of his very own, with his own mother! But disaster strikes when a mysterious aunt pops up and whisks him away to San Francisco. To muddle things even more, a secret note warns him to beware of the "Juggler." In the second book of the Peabody series, Scruggs--a new Christian--finds himself caught in the middle of a ring of international spies. He has to choose whom to trust as he tries to sort out the mystery of the Juggler and the reasons his aunt has for bringing him to San Francisco. And despite the odds against him, he is determined to get back to the home that has been promised him in Peabody, Wisconsin.

 | Another book in the Peabody series, but it isn't as good Apr 7, 2003 |
| Scruggs Grady is the side character in the book Derwood Inc., but in this book he's the main character. The reader follows him as he tries to tame himself from his street/bully life and hopefully to become the son of his adopted mother, Mrs. Bennet. Enter his rich but unknown aunt, who sends for him from her rich estate in California, sight unseen. Scruggs is quite reluctant to leave his newfound home, but he swallows his fear of flying and journeys to her home. He finds himself wrapped up in a world where money can buy anything...and does. Who is the mysterious face peering through his window? Why is his aunt so mysterious? Who is The Juggler a mysterious note warns him of? Scruggs arrived, figuring on finding a rich aunt...but he finds himself playing A Dangerous Game instead. This book doesn't deliver as much as the others did. The writing style is rather terse (not that it's BAD), and the character isn't as enjoyable to read about. Scruggs seems to be a little too smart/clever in his dealings with his fighting opponents, and those who are after him. I'm sorry, but I enjoyed reading more about Jack and Penny Derwood's misadventures than I do Scruggs'. Still, it IS admittedly a cool book. | | |  | Beware of the Juggler! Apr 17, 2000 |
| Scruggs Grady has changed since he got saved. He hasn't broken anybody's window for a long time, and has stopped bullying little kids. He is about to have his dream come true, a real mother. After years of foster care, Mrs. Bennet is going to adopt him. Then one day he finds a strange sign on his door: "Beware the Juggler" and his social worker comes to visit. With the discovery of a wealthy aunt, Scruggs is off to California, leaving behind the new life he had begun to build. Even the show of wealth and fun which his aunt could offer seemed meaningless. Why wouldn't she let him go to church? And what had happened to his Bible? Mystery engulfs Scruggs in his new life. Everything turns into A Dangerous Game. | | | Write your own review about A Dangerous Game (Peabody Adventure Series #2)
