Honch Wilson Adventures

The Adventures of Honch Wilson, a new series for tweens (8-12), can be enjoyed by anyone. Henry “Honch” Wilson is an all-American hero, the kind of boy most parents want as a friend for their children. Henry wrestles with decisions and choices yet models solid character qualities as he tackles life’s challenges. His worldview is distinctively Christian, and while the books are not religious, Henry lives out his faith.

The setting for the series is the imaginary town of Mineville, North Carolina, nestled along the equally fictitious Bonner River. Henry created maps to help readers navigate.

Henry lives on the Wilson farm with his Dad (Bob), Mom (Maria), and one little sister (Susie). Grandpa Robert Wilson lives across Skinner Creek, and Henry’s Aunt Gwynn lives an hour north in Centerville. Bob Wilson is an engineer and works on the nearby military base. Grandpa and Aunt Gwynn are history professors. Henry has to live up to high academic expectations.

Henry is accompanied on his adventures by his best friends, Chuck and Sam. Henry is the brains of the group. Chuck is the muscle and has Henry’s back in any struggle. Sam is a Boy Scout with practical skills for wilderness survival.
