Episode 78: The Cloud, Chapter 18

 

Hi All,

Just a reminder that we are recording a novella that Mr. Chris and I wrote. The story, about kids solving a mystery using their technology skills, has twenty-five chapters.  

Last episode, we brought you Chapter 17, where The Cloud come up with a plan to test their

newest theory that Mr. Brisbane is making everyone sick. The scientific method was in full effect!
