Answers from the Author...
Is Tadley Ridge a Real Place?
Tadley Ridge, Nebraska is a fictional place, just like the amazing geologic structure for which it is named. But the truths expressed in this story are as real as the mismatched couches in Youth Rooms everywhere.
With that said, we do have a lot of two-lane blacktops in Nebraska, and we would welcome you to come and follow any of them, in your own search for Tadley Ridge.
What is the TRCMSHSSS Class?
TRCMSHSSS (pronounced trik'-ʌm-ʃs) is an acronym for the Tadley Ridge Middle School/High School Sunday School Class (its official name.)
It isn't actually supposed to be said out loud when you are reading. Mostly it's supposed to be looked at and when you see it you think to yourself, "Oh, yeah... that thing again..." and then you move on, knowing in your heart that it stands for all the kids in the Youth Group at CB's church.
Of course, if you are reading out loud to a group... or if you happen to move your lips when you read... then just go for it. Best Wishes!
Will there be another story with CB and Scrub?
Just like with other children, there are many stories about CB and Scrub. If you like this book, be sure to watch for the two cousins when they make their return in TR-2: Lightning Strikes Twice.
