"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.
