1 Boy + 2 Petrified Squirrels = A Salty, Crusty Adventure!
Michael is ready for an adventure, and he's going to find one when he tags along with his dad on an archaeological dig at the Dead Sea. Deep in the caves, Michael finds two squirrels--two 2,000-year-old squirrels preserved in sea salt, that is. Michael thinks he's found the perfect souvenir to show off to his fifth-grade class, but smuggling the squirrels into the US in his backpack might be more trouble than he bargained for.
