The Campground Kids #7
Yosemite Fortune
The Campground Kids begin their next journey in Yosemite National Park. Their trip gets turned upside down after learning that treasure has been hidden somewhere in the park—over one million in gold and precious gems. Once the kids discover that their long-lost great-uncle is involved, they insist on joining the hunt. As the family begins their adventure, they run into twin brothers, Brody and Brock, and their father. While Brody seems friendly to the crew, Brock and his menacing father are determined to locate the treasure and will resort to ANYTHING to find it! Join The Campground Kids as they hunt for the hidden treasure. Searching with thousands of other hunters, solving misleading clues, and avoiding eavesdroppers…will Isaiah, Sadie, and Ethan score big or will someone else find the Yosemite Fortune first?

This book is geared towards 2nd graders that read well. My 8 year old loved it. He has never been to Yosemite.
I have been to Yosemite though. So the fact that the author had folks gathering around campfires for food, and even more, has Ethan hiding his candy in his sleeping bag really bothered me. At least back in April 2013, Yosemite was very particular about food due to bears. All the food, or even something that might have food has to be put in the bear locker at night. Looking at the park website, they still say to be careful with food because of bears, so the fact that this was never even mentioned made the author seem less knowledgeable about Yosemite.
My one other complaint about the book was the "I'm my own Grandpa" conversation. I know there was a song written with the same title (according to wiki back in 1947), but really?
The treasure hunt and the fire were actual plot points, which made it better than some of the books in the series. Oh, and I did appreciate the map in the front of the book!

Spoilers.
The story is supposed to be fun and inspire love of the outdoors with kids but modeling such stupid basic errors in being good recreational users made me want to scream.
Kid keeping candy in his sleeping bag? Even glamping? SMH
Not leaving an evacuation zone during a raging fire and the professional firefighters are like "yeah, we'd love to put a ten year old on the front line". Right. I'm sure the rangers loved setting up all the additional resources necessary to babysit families and children as they get to feel good about being saviors. (Oh yeah, just like the long lost uncle who was the only friend to a "native" in East Asia who helped him find the original treasure he's now hidden in the park.)
This is the first book we listened to so I'm going to give the series another go but right now I'm so disappointed.
