FAQs

What's the reading level?

- It has an ATOS rating of 4.8, that means the book is perfect for 4th and 5th graders, but might also be a great fit for younger and more advanced readers. It's been used in classrooms from 3rd grade up to 8th, which means it is both accessible and appeals to a wide range of ages (see the quotes below from young readers, teachers, and parents).

Can I start with any book in the series?

- Yes! Each book has an introduction that catches readers up on the bigger story and without giving away spoilers from earlier books. But, we do recommend that you start with book one for the best experience.

Can I buy it on Amazon so that I get Prime shipping?

• You can purchase the books individually from Amazon, without the box, stickers, or bookmarks at: National Park Mystery Series Amazon Page
• Currently, the box set is only available on this store

Teachers

"This book by far exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to take my kids on another adventure to a National Park and read this along the way. The adventure was rich, the dialogue was natural, the places that I've been were very accurately described and those I have not been to were easy to imagine. I did not want to put the book down."

- Rockwood Area Elementary 2nd Grade Teacher,  Rockwood, PA.

"I read this book with my 2 daughters, ages 9 and 7. We are National park fanatics, and we had a blast reading this book together, especially since we just visited RMNP. We had our park map out and would look up each location mentioned in the book. My 9 year stole the book from me and stayed up late finishing it on her own!"

- Lynn Darrah, High School Special Educator and Mom

Parents

"Our 5th-grade daughter started reading the book as soon as we got it. Before I knew it she was already over halfway through. She says that she loves the scavenger hunt and the characters of the book. She has a hard time putting it down to do her chores. I love that she picks to read the book over screen time each day after school."

- Father of Two in Houston, TX

"Excellent book for young readers! It combines the joys of being outdoors with adventure, mystery, and friendship. It also sneaks in some great day hiking education and National Park history!" 

- J. Marzullo, Mom of four backcountry hiking girls"Loved the book. Adventure, suspense, and educational! Wonderful. Can't wait for the next book in the series!"

- Grandmother to four inquisitive grandchildren in Denver, CO
