Chapter 2: The Miracle

In chapter two, Emil accidentally discovers hang gliding. After he buys a small target kite, he decides he has to fly it. So Emil and the boys create a plan to get the kite into the air. They had all flown kites before, so they would follow the same principle. Alas, this plan goes awry and chaos ensues.

Chapter 3: Orvis Orvison and the Crash and Bash

Two young whippersnappers, Orvis and Paulsen, get into some trouble when they listen in on the Revival meeting and decide to bring the “footsteps of God” to the congregation. Their other adventures involve daredevil stunts masterfully achieved on bicycles while avoiding a dangerous neighborhood dog.
