Fifteen-year-olds Eric and Chris are skilled geocachers--using coordinates and a GPS, they search for hidden "treasure" in their town. When a hunt turns mysterious and typical prizes are replaced with money, the two find added incentive to decipher complex codes. Character interiority is nonexistent, but budding Dan Brown fans will enjoy the ride of this fast-paced, plot-driven narrative.

Eric and Chris are avid geocachers who stumble into a very strange search for a series of geocaches. 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.
