Caching In
Eric and Chris are avid geocachers who stumble into a very strange search. At first they are merely curious, but as the stakes rise and the challenges become more trying, the boys get truly hooked. Convinced they are indeed on the trail of treasure, they become consumed with the search, and though their quest tests their strength, intelligence, courage and even their friendship, they don't give up.

I love geocaching...but, I can't say I loved this book. I didn't like the premise of there being a monetary prize, since that's completely not what geocaching is about. At times the author defined words or phrases that were quite insulting as a reader, such as: "Whoever wrote those clues likes double meanings. You know -- to get us thinking one thing when we should be thinking something else. But I'm starting to catch on." Ugh! It was a quick read at least, and on a subject I love.

Um, what the heck was up with the ending?

Tyvärr ett alldeles för krystat slut, annars hade den kunnat vara en 3:a och hade spänningsmomentet varit lite bättre hade det kunnat vara en 4:a (till och med för någon som är helt ointresserad av geocaching), men nu blev den rätt platt och tråkig istället.

This was my first hi/lo book that I've read before (high interest, low vocabulary) and I'll admit that I only read it because I needed to read one for a course I'm taking. It wasn't as simple as I was expecting - I think I was envisioning a Dr Seuss level of book - and the story was ok. A bit of a mystery and puzzle solving as the two main teens run around trying to solve a jackpot geocache.

This is the second geocaching fiction book I've read in less than two weeks and, surprisingly, this is the better of the two.
It's pretty obvious that this is meant to be a short, easy read aimed at younger teenage boys. The action starts on the first page and never stops, fueled by a lot of cheesy over excitement and obvious plot devices. It's a quick read (I read it under an hour) so it isn't much of a commitment for the average reader.
Its short, it has its purpose, and it was an alright book. Read it if you want to. I don't really care either way.

This is a hi/low book meant for engaging readers who struggle with being able to read at their age level. I knew this going in but the word choices and the plot line is still not something that most of my hi/low students can find engaging. They would easily be able to read the material but the story was too predictable and not real interesting. The verbiage of the kids is dull and not real authentic for how teens speak. Was hopping it would be better.

Recommended for gr. 6-10, high-interest, low-level. Eric and Chris love geocaching. They begin to search for a cache that they found online. But the clues get more and more complicated, not to mention dangerous, and they become determined to find the promised reward at the end. Great for students who are struggling with reading, the story is fast-paced and will appeal to boys.

Borrowed this as an ebook from my library after it came up in the suggestion list. I enjoy geocaching so found the subject and treasure hunt that ensued to be entertaining. Knocked it out in one afternoon.

Couldn't stop the hunt
I had every intention of reading a chapter or two before bed and picking it up again in the morning. However, just like real life geocaching, I couldn't stop until I made the find.

Exciting Story!!!
This is a fast paced story and a quick read. Geared toward young adult readers, this is a fun book that gives a good overview of geocaching from the perspective of its treasure-seeking protagonists.

A quick read, geo-cache adventure. Suitable for 12-14 year olds. Not terribly gripping, but it zips along and has enough tension to keep you reading. Lots of hints for the weak reader to pick up.

Nice, action-filled mystery adventure. Simple, linear plot with clues to solve.

Quick, fun enjoyable read. Wish I had geocaching adventures like these two.

Short and simplistic, and pretty obvious in the clues to the "mystery," but it was fun and enjoyable. Great for reluctant teen readers, or anyone who wants a quick puzzle/mystery.

picked this up at the library solely because it's about geocaching which I love. it was pretty cheesy and predictable but it only took an hour to read so no real loss.
