Bookroo's summary

In a quest through the Holy Land, the Gomez family stumbles upon Dr. Simon's bizarre plan for a zoo where animals talk. Meanwhile, Merle, a 2,000-year-old squirrel, teams up with Dave, a talking blue lizard, to escape captivity. As they journey along the Jordan River, the Gomezes close in but miss their chance to reunite. Will they uncover the truth behind BabbleLand and find Merle before it's too late?

From the publisher

The Dead Sea Squirrels are back with another fun-filled adventure! The Gomez family and friends continue the search for Merle through the Holy Land. But instead of finding Merle, they uncover Dr. Simon’s master plan to create the BabbleLand Animal Park: “the only zoo where cuddly creatures talk to you” and where you can engage in “small talk with the livestock.”Meanwhile, Merle meets Dave, a talking blue Lizard of Judah. The two of them escape Ruben’s clutches and take off along the Jordan River toward Galilee. The Gomezes capture Ruben, but they just miss Merle and Dave.Themes: Choosing to follow God’s willPleasing God by obeying him
