I'm a kid at heart and found this an extremely fun and quick read. Geo-caching reminds me of a high-tech version of scavenger hunting that I loved when I was younger, and this also reminded me of the Nancy Drew mysteries I enjoyed. I may need to revisit both while I eagerly await the sequels! The adventures these kids take combine the best of both worlds: being out in nature and exploring the neighborhood, plus using technology in a way that builds friendships and community. And though the read is lighthearted and heartwarming overall, it does not shy away from bringing up issues like loneliness, risk-taking, family, learning, big life changes, and other items of concern to all ages. I’ve recently met Abbi via the Kansas Authors Club and she is a gem; looking forward to what she publishes next! #ReadLocalKS
