Armed with driving motivation, endless wit, supportive loyal family and friends, as well as faith in God, the teenage Krusaders risk it all for a community vision. The teens' bonds of friendship are strengthened during a summer mystery adventure in the beautiful San Juan Islands off the coast of northwest Washington. In The Adventures of the Krusaders and the Legend of Wilde Island, a local group of high school teenagers invest their time and talents developing a youth activity center in the mid-sized coastal town of Bellingham. While learning success principles and leadership skills, the youth use their tenacity to overcome obstacles and a local tragedy. This leads the "Krusaders" on a quest into the San Juans to discover the truth about a mysterious legend and to save a friend. Along the way, some humorous and serious teenage issues are addressed with the support of adult role models. The Krusaders can only hope that justice will prevail in the end.
