The glow inside the old shed that beckoned Matt and Emily on their first missionary adventure is back! Now the plucky nine-year-old boy and his big sister have received an exciting new mission call to the past. This time the letter is dated 1921 and the place is the Pacific island of Samoa. But what the pair doesn’t know is that the village where they are headed is preparing for war—against the United States—all because the American governor offended the village chieftain. If the Mapusaga warriors attack, the consequences will be terrible. It could even destroy the school that the missionaries have worked so hard to build. Can Matt and Emily stop the fierce-looking warriors from making a terrible mistake before it’s too late? Once again, heart-pounding adventure awaits you as you join Kids on a Mission.
