Brayden Michaels is a boy scout with determination. His troop, Troop 9, has engaged door-to-door cookie sale to raise money for things like new compasses, night crawlers, and clay for pottery hour. With a box of this season’s finest, Brayden sets out to earn a top badge in fundraising! Brayden’s a little nervous. He’s heard stories from other scouts about men who live in the neighborhood. Some of the stories are fun, but some are scary. When Jake Farren answers the door at a big house on the hill, Brayden is hopeful.
