In the first installment of this hilarious new chapter-book series, ten-year-old Michael and his friend Justin sneak into the Dead Sea caves near the archaeological dig where Michael's dad is working. Michael finds two 2,000-year-old squirrels petrified in sea salt. Hijinks ensue as Michael tries to bring them back to the U. S., hidden in his backpack. What Michael thinks are just cool souvenirs may turn out to be something much more! The Dead Sea Squirrels series is humorous, fun, and filled with character-building lessons. The Dead Sea Squirrels are ALIVE!!! Michael can't leave Merle and Pearl Squirrel home alone to be discovered by his parents (or the cat), so the squirrels stow away in his backpack. At school, they experience the wonders of a 21st-century 5th-grade classroom and meet Edgar, the bully who's been after Michael and his friend Justin for years. Can Merle and Pearl use ancient wisdom learned from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount to help Michael face his enemy? Or will Michael get himself into a stinky situation when he tries to take care of the problem his own way? Merle & Pearl Squirrel have a need for SPEED! One boy trying to avoid his math homework plus one skating rink plus two ancient squirrels equals a failed test, a second chance, and a lesson learned. The always hilarious (and sometimes helpful) Merle and Pearl Squirrel teach 10-year-old Michael that a little hard work can go a long way. The Dead Sea Squirrels are missing! Well, Pearl is. Michael is enjoying his first Saturday of the school year, teaching Merle and Pearl to play soccer--in the house! A stray ball smashes his mom's prized elephant lamp, and Michael sees the chance to lay blame on his little sister. He and the squirrels head to the park to play. When the man in the suit and sunglasses shows up and snatches Pearl, Michael's friends and family band together to try to get her back! Michael learns the value of honesty. Continue the series Kirkus Reviews said will make kids "undoubtedly laugh out loud" with "plenty of humor to tickle young readers" and recommended for fans of Big Nate and Stink! Mike Nawrocki, co-creator of VeggieTales, is back with more adventures with Michael and his friends! Fancy costumes, an upgraded hamster house, and a dinner invitation? Sounds like Merle and Pearl are really coming up in the world now that they're settling into the 21st century. But maybe this invitation to share acorns with new friends isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's another hilarious adventure with Merle and Pearl as they learn that kindness counts, even when you're facing your biggest (and fluffiest) nemesis. What do homework, Michael's new favorite video game, and a pair of drones have in common? They're all competing for the gang's attention. Join Michael, Merle, and Pearl for some high-flying adventures as they learn that self-control might save your grades . . . and your friends. The Dead Sea Squirrels are back! Mike Nawrocki brings his signature humor and storytelling expertise to the newest installment in the beloved series. Merle and Pearl have been squirrelnapped and taken to Israel. Even though Michael, Justin, and Sadie have just started 5th grade, they convince their parents that a trip to Israel will be an educational experience, especially since Michael's mom is a teacher and can help them keep up with their schoolwork. Nazareth is the first stop for Merle and Pearl's squirrelnapper. The kids are able to track Merle and Pearl to Nazareth, the town where Joseph and Mary lived before the birth of Jesus. Then the squirrels learn that the black-market artifact collector will be moving them to Bethlehem and manage to leave a clue for the kids as to where they are going. Will the kids find Merle and Pearl in time, or will the squirrelnapper get away again? Merle and Pearl meet . . . a talking donkey? Merle and Pearl are still in the clutches of their squirrelnapper. The Gomez family, along with Justin and Sadie, is in hot pursuit. After a wrong turn, they receive a hint from the most unlikely of sources. Meanwhile, Merle and Pearl are having their own adventure, riding a donkey from Bethlehem to Nazareth under the watchful eye of their abductor. As usual, their hijinks bring laughter and a few surprises--this time ...
