Synopsis

Waypoint: Oregon is the first book in the Waypoint Book Series. On the last day of school, while making plans for a lazy summer vacation, Ben finds himself trapped in a sinister high-tech scavenger hunt, where he is forced to face all of his fears, both physically and emotionally in order to survive and save his family. Nine-year-old Ben Connor thinks he has hit the jackpot. Hidden within a box of cereal are the exact longitude and latitude coordinates for a geocache that holds ten-thousand dollars. (Geocaching is just like Pokemon Go, but with an actual treasure, not just virtual creatures). Ben grabs a G.P.S. unit and makes a deal with his aunt to split the money if she agrees to be his taxi. But could this treasure hunt be too good to be true? And did he really read those instructions correctly? If not, why is he being lured and who is behind this dangerous scavenger hunt? Using G.P.S. navigation, Ben and his adventurous aunt locate clues using longitude and latitude coordinates. What is supposed to be a short, safe trip, ends up being a dangerous, exhausting, and hilarious adventure exploring various landmarks throughout Oregon. Through struggles and challenges Ben is forced to confront some of his biggest fears, both physical and emotional. He is helped along the way by a mysterious figure, which only he can see, and although he wants to trust, he finds it difficult as his life is put on the line time and time again. As if dealing with their problems wasn't bad enough, the pair realizes they're being followed. They want to give up, but are forced to continue in order to save themselves and their family.
