Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A massive mess, a leopard on the loose, and the arrival of new life--it's just another day in the life of the Mulligans. From bestselling author Bill Myers comes a hilarious, warmhearted, and action-packed adventure starring the Mulligan family.Neither Michael nor Traci Mulligan had intended upon a large family, let alone one of such diversity. But God had other plans. After their second child, Lisa, was born blind, they began to see their gift for reaching out, connecting, and laughing with special children with special needs--all while raising their family among the many creatures living at the animal park that they operate.Are there trials? You bet. There's no way to keep the boat from rocking with so many children from such diverse backgrounds and in such an incredible environment. But their faith in Christ, commitment to one another, and ability to laugh at themselves keep them digging in to make it work.
"A Focus on the Family resource"
"Life in a big, diverse family is already an adventure, but life at the Mulligan Wild Animal Park is downright epic! Meet the Magnificent Mulligans, a crazy family with a bunch of cool kids--living the dream as they operate a 1250-acre wild animal park. Except it doesn't feel like much a dream for Hector. Fresh off the tough streets of Bogota, Columbia, Hector can't understand why the Mulligan family cares so much about taking care of animals--especially the weak, vulnerable ones. You must be strong to survive. But a newcomer to the park begins to challenge Hector's long-held belief. Meanwhile, twins Jessica and Janelle get drawn into some middle-school mean-girl drama that jolts their relationship. Can they rebuild their friendship and recognize the power of forgiveness? Speaking of forgiveness--especially the difficulty of it--Lisa can't believe her big brother Nick's carelessness. Sometimes it's no big deal. That's just Nick being Nick. But it's a much bigger deal when Nick's forgetfulness causes Lisa's favorite animal to run away from the park. Now the Mulligans must do what they do best: work together to make sure everyone gets home safe." -- Back cover.
