"It's like The Magic Treehouse and Magic School Bus teamed up for a Science Adventure!" "Emily!" John yelled, "You have to see this," he said, "Catie found it!" Her eyes followed his pointing finger. "Unbelievable!" she gasped, staring inside of what had seemed to be a rock only a moment before. She saw computer screens, science equipment, and liquids bubbling from one beaker to another through glass tubes. A futuristic space helmet hung on the back of each chair. "John, this is incredible!" Emily said, "We need to tell Julie." "No way," John replied, "If we tell the grown-ups they'll take it away. I'm going inside with Catie." "I don't think we should, John," Emily said. But John wasted no time climbing down into the hole. Annoyed, Emily clambered down the metal ladder. Inside, the room didn't feel cramped at all. They wandered from one station to another in amazement. Emily grew more anxious by the minute. "Somebody must have left it here," she said, "Don't touch anything. We don't want to break it." "Break it, schmake it," John said, "Maybe these computers can tell us how they work." As if reading his mind, the large screen in front of the two chairs powered on. A strange computer voice spoke to them, saying, "Hello! I am the Computer Assistant for Testing and Exploration, but you may call me Catie. What would you like to learn today?" "Cool," John said, "There's a voice assistant like at the house. Hey, Catie! They named the ship after you!" Emily saw no sign of the other girl. "I don't know, John," Emily replied, "I think we should go. Catie, where are you? Let's get out of here!" "Please do not go," the voice said. Emily turned around in amazement. "You can understand what we say?" she asked. "I can do more than that!" the voice replied, "I can run experiments, pilot this ship and more. I can project a hologram of a little girl. I brought you here, John!" John and Emily looked at each other, eyes wide. "What is this thing? A spaceship?" Emily asked. "Not exactly," Catie replied in her computer assistant voice, "I am a Seeker's Stone. I do much more than travel through space." "Where did you come from computer?" Emily asked. "Please call me Catie," the voice responded, "I have been trying to discover that myself." Now, Emily and John plunge into an epic adventure to help Catie. Can they find the wits and courage to survive their encounter with The Seeker's Stone? "This series covers science like The Magic Treehouse covers history. Kids will love the adventure and illustrations, and accidentally learn science concepts." "The quality is impeccable. On the edge of my seat, I found myself learning about DNA, viruses and cells. I love the illustrations and imagination." The Seeker's Stone #1 DNA in the Deep is a Science Adventure Chapter Book for ages 7-12 (Approx. 9800 words). The Seeker's Stone appeals to lovers of science fiction, The Magic Treehouse, The Magic School Bus, Octonauts, Wild Kratts, and of course, science fact.
