Review:
Emma and her parents are taking a long overdue vacation to St. Thomas. It was warm there and Emma couldn’t wait to swim. On a site seeing tour on a glass bottom boat Emma looked at fish swimming and saw an octopus all alone in the tall sea grass. She waved and she was sure it waved back.
Oliver the octopus loved to play in the sea grass. He would get distracted very easily and often lose track of time. As the sun set, Oliver realized he was lost and being followed by a very large and scary barracuda whose name was Beazly.
Also in the water was Steve the starfish. He loved to hide in the tall sea grass from Beazly who was large and toothy. But he also hid from the fish at school who teased him about his bright color. Steve noticed Beazly lurking around an octopus and in an effort to help scare Beazly away he used his arms to stir up sand and created a very large swirl and the octopus escaped.
Emma visited the warm waters daily and finally was able to meet and talk with Oliver the octopus and even Steve the starfish face to face. She shared with them the story she heard from the hotel owner about the St. Thomas waters being enchanted and why they could speak to each other and the reason so many pirates hid their treasures there. She also learned that the treasure of the pirate Bleu Jay had been hidden and never found. Emma and her new friends make it their mission to find the treasure before Emma had to leave for home. Coincidently, they do find one shiny coin. Do you think they will find the rest of Bleu Jay’s treasure?

About Kim
Cameron
Kim Cameron began her career on KHAT TV as a small-town
reporter after DJ'ing on KRNU. With a journalism degree in hand, she moved to
the Washington DC area writing for the Smithsonian Institute. Her career took
numerous twists and turns through corporate ladders and organizations, but
telling stories was always a passion. She is a proven lyricist with a song
catalog of over 65, including a few children's songs. She wrote her first
musical in 2012 while writing for the National Examiner and providing the voice
over character for an Asian animation movie. Kim is a true believer in
inspiring and nurturing kids. She teaches vocal lessons to students at the
School of Rock and volunteers at the Children's Hospital, singing at their
bedsides.
While on tour in the Caribbean, she met a 12-year-old who had a fascination
with octopi. This brief encounter inspired the creation of Mr. Octopus, a
children's tune featuring a 7-year-old that Kim recently signed to her record
label. After completing the song, her co-writer and guitarist, John DePatie,
encouraged her to take the song to next level by writing a children's book
using the song as the impetus. After the story was written, John and Kim
thought it would be better told using a live narrator and the incorporation of
the song. After months of production, narration, editing, the creation of
original musical score and sound effects, the audiobook was completed.
While Kim has had many accomplishments, she and John consider this their
biggest feat. Seaper Powers is the first of a series that Kim and John have
committed to write and produce.
