Dead Sea Squirrels Book 4: Squirrelnapped! (slightly imperfect)

When one of the Dead Sea Squirrels is squirrel-napped, Michael and his friends learn that honesty and teamwork matter most — even in the wildest adventure!

The Dead Sea Squirrels series follows two ancient squirrels, Merle and Pearl, who were discovered in a cave near the Dead Sea and brought to modern-day America by ten-year-old Michael. Together, they tumble into hilarious, heartwarming adventures filled with friendship, faith lessons, and plenty of mischief.

In Book 4: Squirrelnapped!, Michael’s weekend starts off great — until a game of indoor soccer goes wrong and Mom’s favorite lamp is broken. When he blames his little sister, things quickly spiral out of control, and Pearl is suddenly squirrel-napped! With help from family and friends, Michael sets out to bring her home — and discovers that telling the truth, even when it’s hard, is always the right thing to do.
