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 be aware 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. - Back cover.
