After her family moves to the city, Chloe finds her new school to be a scary place where she doesn't fit in.

When her father tells her the Bible story of Jonah, Chloe uses her imagination to bring the adventure to life, complete with a nervous prophet (David Osmond), rival gangs of Ninevites who happen to be amazing dancers (Jason Celaya and Jared Young), a hearty band of Spanish mariners (J. Michael Bailey and Josh Tenney), a troubled King and Queen (Brian Allred and Katherine Nelson), a pair of lovable fish named Humphrey (David Ray Burton) and Chum (Korianne Orton Johnson), and a trio of singing crustaceans called the "Crabelles" (Josephine Scere, Brittni Bills Smith, and Marissa Smith).

As Chloe likens the story to her own life, she discovers there are no misfits in God's plan.

The worst yet...

Customer, WA - January 28, 2012

I'm sorry but I found this to be the most awful of all the Liken movies. I have to agree with some reviewers of the the earlier movies were shorter, slicker and a whole lot truer or more reverant to the actual scriptural tales. I can't help but think now that I'm just watching a High School Musical or local theatre production on DVD, which was ok for half an hour but for 80 plus minutes I start to feel a little ripped off. Plus this movie, a part from the street dance off scenes which were well produced, is just silly in parts, and not 'silly funny', just silly. Especially the parts under the ocean, they were quite unbearable - (btw, it was a whale, not a fish). There is no way that I will subject my children to multiple screenings of this, I already feel sorry for the 80 mins of our life we did lose to it! The earlier movies have been great and my kids loved them however even my oldest daughter, who is a huge fan, expressed disappointment at this one. It seems that Liken is…
