Welcome to: Artie and Callie Marble's
Choose Your Own Adventures (CYOA).
Artie and Callie Marble, “treasure-seeking” ten-year-old twins, love to dig. If they happen to find interesting things, they celebrate their treasures (rocks, minerals, relics, fossils, artifacts, bones, old stuff, etc.).
Yes, they get into trouble. Yes, they have to face the consequences. How do they manage to straighten things out?
At school a group of kids makes fun of them, but Artie and Callie tolerate the "shoppers’" teasing. “Shoppers” are kids who hang out at the entertainment malls and use their “Shopper Prints” (fingerprints) to buy fashions, fads, and the latest high-tech products. These girls and boys make fun of Callie (Digger Dynamo), Artie, and their digging crew who enjoy nature, don’t follow the fads, and don't mind dirt as they explore the Earth.
