Description

The best kind of treasure hunt

When his best friend moves away, eleven-year-old Layton Clark wonders if he’ll ever have another adventure. Then he meets Sherry. She introduces him to the treasure-hunting world of geocaching. A contagious thirst for adventure sends them hunting for mysterious geocaches popping up in random places-like an abandoned Kansas ghost town.

Layton and Sherry must work together to unlock the clues in the strange geocaches, solve a 100 year old mystery to clear a dead man’s name, and convince Layton’s archaeologist father the town is worth studying further so his family doesn’t have to move.

With everything he holds dear at stake, Layton can’t afford to leave a single headstone unscrubbed, or geocache treasure undiscovered.

About the Author

A

bbi Lee taught high school English and Social Studies before working at a local museum as the Education Manager conducting tours, creating programs, and using stories to bring history to life. She then turned her full attention to writing and now writes for a local marketing agency during the day and for publication in any rare moments of quiet she can find. She has been published in Kansas Country Living magazine, Spider childrens magazine, and is proud to be publishing the first book in her debut lower middle-grade series, Geocache Club: Ghost Town Treasure Hunt. Abbi has also been named a winner in multiple kidlit writing contests and is a member of SCBWI.

As a kid, Abbi loved to read, write songs, and be crafty and creative but being an author was never something she envisioned for herself. She was born and raised in Kansas and absolutely loves living there, so it was only natural to set Layton’s hometown in Kansas as well. When Abbi’s not reading or writing, she enjoys making (and eating) no-bake cookies, geocaching for hidden treasures, and going on adventures with her husband and two daughters.
