Dead Sea Squirrels Book 3: Nutty Study Buddies (slightly imperfect)

When Michael struggles with math, his ancient squirrel friends are ready to help — and they just might teach him something about hard work too!

Nutty Study Buddies continues the hilarious adventures of Michael and his two ancient squirrel friends, Merle and Pearl, who were discovered in a cave near the Dead Sea and brought into the modern world.

When Michael starts falling behind in math class, Pearl decides to lend a paw. But when his friends invite him out for fun instead of studying, Michael has to choose between what’s easy and what’s right. With a few wise words (and some nutty encouragement) from the squirrels, he learns the value of diligence and doing his best — even when it’s not fun at first.

Written by Mike Nawrocki, co-creator of VeggieTales, this fun chapter book blends humor, friendship, and faith-based lessons that help kids grow strong in character and heart.
