The Forbidden Road — Dave Gustaveson

Jeff Caldwell never thought their bike trip from Beijing to the famous Great Wall would be so difficult. Why was the Chinese police captain so intent on stopping them at every turn? Would their refusal to submit to the captain bring lasting danger to their Chinese translators?

In their determination to get to the Great Wall, Jeff and the "Reel Kids" find themselves facing obstacles more severe than the dusty, crowded roads they anticipated. Will they be able to break through the impossible barriers to fulfill their real mission in this ancient land?

There's never a dull moment when the Reel Kids media club takes on swollen rivers, dense jungles, and rugged mountains to film the fascinating faces and places that need the gospel. Jeff, Mindy, and K.J. experience the heart of cultures around the world as they meet intriguing new friends on their action-packed global adventures.

Each well-researched, exciting story is set in a different country, so children (ages 9-14) not only experience a page-turning adventure but also learn about the people, culture, or history of the nation in which the story takes place. A meaningful series of missionary challenge for young readers who enjoy action!
