Join Ricky, Ray, and Rusty for a hilarious, faith-filled adventure through one of the most unusual places on earth—the Galápagos Islands!

In Ricky, Ray & Rusty Explore the Galápagos Islands, the cousins travel with Uncle Dean, Aunt Pat, and their guide Alex to discover giant tortoises, sea lions, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, finches, volcanoes, tide pools, and even penguins near the equator. Along the way, Ray reports into his famous banana microphone, Rusty treats every animal like a royal subject, and Ricky fills his notebook with exciting scientific discoveries.

This middle-grade Christian adventure blends humor, wildlife science, creation-based learning, and Scripture in a way that keeps kids laughing while they learn.
