Bloopers

We had a few minutes left after we filmed so the kids wanted to do a "bloopers" video!

The Treasure Map Makers

The other group researched and created treasure maps that were probably similar to the maps used by the pirates and scallywags in our book The 13th Floor. 

Captain Crackstone visits our room!

As we finish our book The 13th Floor we have produced a few products. This group was made up of talented script writers, a very organized producer, a creative and insightful camera man and 2 very talented actors!

Pirate Ship Cross Section

We have been reading the book "The 13th Floor". This is a cross section of the pirate ship The Laughing Mermaid done by V. Kaponski.

What is Going on at the 13th Floor?

The main characters from the book The 13th Floor, are Buddy and Liz. Buddy is 12 years old and he is an orphan, so is his older sister Liz who just got out of law school. The setting started at San Deigo bay. They got a mysterious message on the phone from their ancestor Abigail that  had been on trial for being a witch. Also Buddy's grandpa had seances trying to contact Captain Crackstone. Captain Crackstone was Buddy and Liz's pirate ancestor that buried his treasure. The reason they are trying to contacted Captain Crackstone is because their dad had to pay a lot of bills and they need to pay them off.
So don't forget to come in an check what we have blogged next time. It will still be a mystery.  

So Far.....

Is there a 13th floor in our story The 13th Floor? Buddy and Liz are orphans who need cash. Their parents died and they are left with a big old house. Their parents hadn't paid any of their debts. They have a "death book" that  says that they have an ancestor that was a pirate named Captain Crackstone who buried a treasure. One night they walked in the door and found a message on the phone. It was from a relative named Abigail Parsons who was accused of being a witch at age 10 back in 1692! The message said that Abigail was in trouble and that Liz, who is a lawyer, should meet her at The Zachary Building on the 13th floor. Liz did not come back from work one night and usually Liz calls Buddy if she is going to be late. He felt scared . When she wasn't home in the morning he got really worried. Stay tuned to see the rest of the of the story!
