Geocacher - E-book (Pet Detective Mysteries Book 3)
A mystery for kids 7-11 that the whole family will enjoy.
Hone critical thinking skills while learning about animals, friendship, and the importance of generosity.
Just days before her thirteenth birthday, Kassy's only wish is to escape from the cramped tent she shares with her brother and his farting ferret, her not-quite stepsister and her squirmin' vermin puppy . . . and a miniature goat with an appetite for underwear.
Kiki the koala needs to get to the National Zoo in Washington, and the gang is on the world's most fun road trip to get her there. On the way, they camp in the Shenandoah National Forest, where they enter a geocaching contest full of riddles and puzzles to test even the brainiest middle graders.
Determined to win the contest-and a brand-new tent-Kassy faces off with the cheating Cheevers and risks losing Kiki for good. Can the gang outsmart the Cheevers, win the contest, and still get Kiki to her new home at the zoo?
Join Kassy's fun-filled middle-grade adventure cracking riddles, detecting clues, and solving a whole zoo of animal trouble in the third book in the Pet Detective Mysteries.

"Kassy O'Roarke is a modern day Nancy Drew...The themes of loyalty and friendship are strong throughout making this the perfect middle grade (and upper elementary) novel. I adore this book and cannot wait to purchase it for my students. They are going to love it!" Librarian_Fitz, Kid's Bookstagrammer
"Kelly Oliver has written a magnificent middle-grade story that will captivate readers with an exciting plot, relatable narrator, plenty of laughs, and a sprinkling of lessons. She has nailed the voice of her heroine and hit on so many issues, phobias and difficulties of young adolescence. Kassy O’Roarke is a great role model: smart, thoughtful, clever, ambitious, motivated, curious and vulnerable. She even understands it’s okay to cry now and then. But above all, Kassy is real. I loved this character and this book — so will you and your kids." BookTrib Reviews
"Filled with finely created characters, both human and animal, this brisk little novel is a spellbinder, one that is bound to gather a very strong audience committed to the series." San Francisco Review of Books
