Secret Codes - Lost Landmarks - Hidden Clues - Real Locations

Before Jake’s grandfather died, he was on the trail of a centuries-old mystery. And he has entrusted that mystery to Jake, leaving behind a set of hidden codes, riddles, maps, and other clues that lead Jake and his friends on a scavenger hunt into the heart of Colorado’s wild and rugged Rocky Mountain National Park.

Through twists and turns, the mystery unfolds while Jake, Amber, and Wes learn about survival skills, natural history, integrity, character, and friendship.

While camping in Rocky Mountain National Park, they discover they are not the only ones on this quest. An elusive shadow group is close on their heels.

Illustrated by the author, this page-turning adventure is designed to capture the imagination of even the most reluctant of young readers. Parents looking for a delightful read-aloud adventure will find it hard to put down. (Word of Caution: readers frequently note that this is a “Please read just one more chapter” book).

If your family loves the enchanted lands of our national parks, this series will take you to hidden places and into breathtaking landscapes. If you enjoy movies like National Treasure and Uncharted or mystery adventures like the Hardy Boys and Gary Paulsen’s survival story, Hatchet, you’ll love this first installment of the National Park Mystery Series.

One of the best parts of the book is the cliffhangers. Each time it gets harder and harder to stop reading. Since it is a mystery it keeps you reading and if you were a little kid reading this it would be easy to track the different parts of the book. The story tells you about teamwork, problem solving and friendships.

Another really great thing is the storyline. It is very in depth and intriguing. Also with the characters getting into arguments sometimes they disagree who should do it or what path they should take but they always find a way. The storyline helps the reader imagine what kind of a place the characters are at if the reader hasn't been there before and what the characters are doing in the story.

Overall, Mystery in Rocky Mountain National Park is an adventure filled book with the message of always having teamwork and if you disagree with your friends or have a problem then work together to solve it. I would recommend this book to Middle school students and any family that would like a good book to read on vacation.
