What Has Blue Been Up To?
This week Blue finally gets to begin her treasure hunt. She’s still having to babysit the new girl in town, but soon discovers that having a rich and famous partner may actually help her out. However, she’s not the only person searching for the lost treasure and her plans may not go the way she thought. Spying on the new hunters may lead Blue and her friends into trouble. Come back next week to see what happens!
There is always something AWESOME happening in Mr. Merritt's Science Classes
