Welcome to: Artie and Callie Marble's Choose Your Own Adventures (CYOA)
Digger Dynamo: The Marble Family Digging Adventures
Artie and Callie Marble,“treasure-seeking” ten-year-old twins, love to dig.
If they happen to find interesting things, they celebrate treasures: rocks, minerals, relics, fossils, artifacts, bones, coins, meteorites, old weapons, odd objects, jewelry, and more.
Do they get into trouble? Do they face consequences? Do they enjoy the rewards of diggers?
At school some kids make fun of them. Artie and Callie tolerate the shoppers’ teasing.“Shoppers” hang out at 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 friends (The Earth Crew) who enjoy nature, don’t follow the fads, and don't mind dirt as they explore the Earth.
Quick thinkers Callie and Artie learn to "dig" themselves out of trouble, make fantastic discoveries, and learn about their digging heritage.
