A hilarious action-adventure series for Christian kids set in a town where the parables of Jesus literally come to life.

The Parable Port crew has barely dried out from their floodwaters adventure when an all-star athlete arrives in town, making Anthony no longer the newest kid. And he's not the only surprise Parable Port has in store.

J.R.'s phone has vanished (how is she supposed to keep podcasting?!). Duck's lucky soccer cleats are missing (will he be benched forever?!). Wallets, backpacks, keys, even people begin disappearing without a trace. Detective Sven Sleuthenhopper is buried under a mountain of missing-person reports, and no one can figure out what's happening.

Fueled by an alarming number of ketchup packets, Duck teams up with J.R. and an outrageously fluffy sheep to follow the clues. Their search leads them beneath Parable Port into a twisting maze of underground caverns, where hungry wolves, hidden dangers, and a mysterious Collector are waiting in the shadows.
