Ten-year-old Michael and his best buddy Justin are spending the summer in Israel along the banks of the Dead Sea. Deep inside a cave, the boys discover a couple of salt-encrusted, dehydrated squirrels. Michael smuggles the crusty critters back home to Tennessee where, after leaving them out near his bedroom window, they rehydrate and spring to life! Just how long can a fifth grader and his small circle of friends keep these squirrels under wraps?
