Pretty accurate view of geocaching

I've read several of the original Boxcar Children books to my class. This contemporary volume deals with the hobby of Geocaching. I found it to be a relatively accurate description of geocaching while in the form of a mystery. While not great literature, it kept my students interested. If you're looking for a children's fiction book involving geocaching, this one works. I'd recommend it for grades 1-4.
