Anyone ever heard of these?...
Getting sucked into TVTropes tonight led me to The Moral Substitute, devoted to (mostly) Christian alternatives to pop-culture items. And under the Literature section:
The Twelve Candles Club was a Christian - specifically, conservative evangelical - alternative to what the author saw as filth and immorality found in secular preteen novel series like The Babysitters Club. The approach was... odd. Basically, each book would start with a fairly standard BSC-style plotline; the characters would make it to the second-to-last chapter without mentioning religion in any way, but then, when all hope seemed lost, one of them would suggest that the group pray about their problem. They would do so, and the problem would suddenly be solved by some miraculous coincidence.
Not sure whether to lol or not :p Anyone ever stumble across these, and if so, were they any good or at least mildly interesting?
