Book 10 – Risky River Rescue – The Dead Sea Squirrels | Christian Adventure Story for Kids

Get ready for a thrilling adventure along the Jordan River in Risky River Rescue, Book #10 of The Dead Sea Squirrels!

From Mike Nawrocki, co-creator of VeggieTales, comes another hilarious and faith-filled chapter book for kids ages 6–10. This story combines humor, suspense, and biblical lessons, making it perfect for Christian families, homeschool reading, and bedtime storytelling.

The search for Merle continues as the Gomez family and friends travel through the Holy Land. But instead of immediately finding their squirrel friend, they stumble upon Dr. Simon’s master plan: the creation of BabbleLand Animal Park, a zoo where cuddly animals talk to visitors and even engage in “small talk with the livestock.” The plan is as quirky as it is ambitious—but it adds a new twist to their adventure!

Meanwhile, Merle teams up with Dave, a talking Blue Lizard of Judah, and together they escape Ruben’s clutches. Their journey along the Jordan River toward Galilee is filled with daring escapes, funny mishaps, and life lessons about obedience, courage, and trusting God’s plan.

Though the Gomezes capture Ruben, Merle and Dave narrowly evade them, teaching young readers that even in risky situations, faith, teamwork, and quick thinking can make all the difference. Alongside the laughter and excitement, this story introduces kids to biblical geography and the beginnings of Jesus’ ministry, making it a perfect mix of adventure and Scripture-based learning.
