What an adorable book-perfect for any young explorer. Not only does it help teach children about geocaching (and adults too like me for example) but it also teaches about nature and kindness and being careful when out in the "wilderness" (even if it isn't really wilderness).
Stella really misses living with her Mom and Dad and although she has learned to love her eccentric Grandmother she wants to go home. Her Grandmother decides to take Stella geocaching and Stella misinterprets a whole lot of the words and thinks they are going on a treasure hunt to find lots of gold which she plans on giving to her Dad so he can buy a house and move closer to them. Slowly but surely the words are explained to her and when they actually find the geocache Stella is really disappointed. BUT-they do find a real treasure along the way--one that will give Stella and her sister unconditional love!

Eclair Goes to Stella's
Hi, I’m Éclair and I’m seven. My sister Meggie is two. When mom got sick we had to go live with Stella, my dad’s mom, the one with maroon colored hair. I begged Dad not to make us stay with her because she beat her horse and was going to eat her rooster, but he didn’t believe me. Even after I pretended I was going to barf, he left us with Stella.
So there we were, Meggie and me, on a strange pink farm with a skinny horse, a mean rooster, and Stinky Stella who had a living room filled with dead deer heads.
What would she do to us?
Would we end up on her wall too?

Michelle is a fulltime employee of God's kingdom, writing and encouraging writers every day. She's often a sucker for emotional stories, her sensitive side fueling the passion for her character's plights, often giving her the ability to show readers the "other" side of the story.
She grew up in the burbs of Detroit with five brothers. No sisters. Each time her mom brought the boy bundle home from the hospital Michelle cried, certain her mom liked boys better than girls. But when her brothers pitched in with the cooking, cleaning, and babysitting--without drama, Michelle discovered having brothers wasn't so bad. They even taught her how to take direct criticism without flinching, which might come in handy with book reviews.
Michelle is living her dream--writing every day and thanking God for the stories He puts in her path. When Michelle isn't writing she's winning ugly on the tennis court. She's known as "Queen of the Rim Shots." No joke. It's ugly.
CACHE a PREDATOR is currently hidden in geocaching sites throughout the US. If you'd like to see where there might be a novel hidden in your area, please log in to geocaching.com and search for trackables at IN SCRIBE--that's Michelle.

That sounds like a really cute book. I have been wanting to go geocaching with my daughter.
Sounds like a lil short fun read on Geocaching. Thanks for sharing
Oh bless her, I love little Eclair x
We're lucky to have a park nearby where there are a few geocaching treasures to find. My girls love going there once a year to see what people leave behind!
This book sounds like a great way to encourage getting your kids outside for some healthy fun! :)
I can honestly say I've never been geocaching.. looks like it might be fun to try.
I heard about geocaching but I wasn't 100% sure what it is... the video you featured made it very clear and I might give it a go, too. :) Love the fact that there's a kid's book on it - it sounds like the kind of adventure I would love as a kid!
I've always wanted to learn about geocaching. I bet this book would be great so adults could learn too!
Sounds like a terrific book! This would be a wonderful gift for my kiddos for Christmas!
We love geocaching!! Living in the mountains of AZ, we get our GPS and head out on the ATV's into the forest and look for "treasure"! :)
We've only been geocaching a couple of times, but it's such a blast. The kids loved the hunt! I need to check this out!
sounds like a cute book for kids :)
What a fun read! My grandchildren go Geo hunting and love it!
Never tried it. The Pinterest isn't working for me. It keeps saying (Oop try again).
I have never tried geocaching before, but I bet my son would love it. What a great giveaway!
What a great way to introduce kids to a super fun hobby. This giveaway is awesome!
