Book 3 – Nutty Study Buddies | The Dead Sea Squirrels Series – A Funny Faith-Filled Story for Kids

Learning can be hard—but with faith, friends, and a few talking squirrels, anything is possible!

From Mike Nawrocki, the co-creator of VeggieTales, comes the third hilarious adventure in The Dead Sea Squirrels series—Book 3: Nutty Study Buddies!

When ten-year-old Michael starts struggling with math, he feels completely lost. Homework is tough, and tests seem impossible! That’s when Pearl Squirrel, one of the two ancient squirrels Michael brought home from the Dead Sea, decides to step in and help. Pearl’s wisdom (and a little humor) might be just what Michael needs—if he’s willing to listen.

But when Michael’s friends invite him to hang out at the roller rink instead of studying, he faces an important choice: take the easy path or learn the value of responsibility and hard work. Through laughter, mistakes, and faith, Michael discovers that perseverance—and trusting God’s help—can turn challenges into victories.
