The Dead Sea Squirrels discover artificial intelligence! Begin a new story arc in the hilarious action-packed adventure series by Veggie Tales' Mike Nawrocki.
Merle, Pearl, Michael, Justin, and Sadie thought their epic adventures in Israel were over. But after returning to Tennessee, they're faced with an even bigger challenge--make-up homework! Desperate to escape the mountain of assignments, Michael and Justin strike a deal with their teacher and agree to create an educational presentation for the class about their time abroad. Sounds easy, right? But how can they keep Merle and Pearl a secret when they're in every photo? With artificial intelligence!
Merle discovers the wonders of AI and encourages the boys to use it to create an epic presentation featuring questionable images of the squirrels' AI-generated doppelgangers, Uncle Merge and Aunt Purge. But will their teacher believe their elaborate story of car chases, illegal border crossings, and daring rescues? As things spiral out of control, the boys begin to wonder if the cost of lying is worth it.
