In the charming land of North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge Mountains stretch up to tickle the sky, and the Atlantic Ocean whispers secrets to the sandy shores, there is a group of uniquely adventurous kids known as the Exploration Squad. Our story begins in a world of towering pines, where the air is filled with the scent of sweet tea and barbeque, and where kids can be whatever they want to be. You may wonder, "Who are these kids?" Well, let's meet them! Leading the Exploration Squad is Billy "Biscuit" Johnson, a freckled-faced, carrot-top boy with a crazy love for hushpuppies and a sense of adventure as vast as the Outer Banks. Biscuit is known far and wide for his goofy giggle that could make a grumpy grizzly bear chuckle. Then there's Lulu "Lightning" Logan, a sassy spitfire girl with a heart full of grit and a head full of dreams as big as the Great Smoky Mountains. Lulu can run faster than a jackrabbit on hot coals, and she's as brave as a honey badger at a bee convention. Together with their fellow squad members, they roam across North Carolina, from the bustling cities of Charlotte and Raleigh to the quiet, starry nights of the Appalachian countryside. They explore ancient forests, mysterious caves, and even the spooky, ghost-infested lighthouses of the coast, always returning home with pockets full of treasures and hearts full of stories. North Carolina, the land of the pine, with its sweet southern charm and endless adventures, is where the Exploration Squad calls home. And oh, what a home it is! So buckle up, kiddos, because in the land of hushpuppies, honey badgers and haunted lighthouses, your adventure is just beginning!
