About this item:

Another Edge-Of-Your-Seat Adventure in the Bestselling Series.

Jake Evans and his two friends, Wes and Amber, are on a quest in Yosemite National Park to solve a new set of clues that lead them to the heights and down into the depths of Yosemite National Park.

Ages 7 to 14 - With over 60 Illustrations - A Page-Turner Full of Twists and Turns

The National Park Mystery Series

Before Jake’s grandfather died, he was on the trail of a centuries-old mystery. He has entrusted that mystery to Jake, leaving behind a set of hidden codes, riddles, maps, and other clues that lead Jake and his friends on a scavenger hunt while camping in the most rugged wilderness of the national parks.

The mystery unfolds as Jake, Amber, and Wes learn about survival skills, natural history, integrity, character, and friendship.

Along the way, they discover they are not the only ones on this quest. An elusive shadow group is close on their heels.

Illustrated by the author, these page-turning adventures are designed to capture the imagination of even the most reluctant of young readers. Parents looking for a delightful read-aloud adventure will find it hard to put down.

If your family loves the enchanted lands of our national parks, this series will take you to hidden places and breathtaking landscapes. If you enjoy reading mystery adventures like the Hardy Boys or Gary Paulsen’s survival story, Hatchet, you’ll love this fifth installment of the National Park Mystery Series.

Start this epic adventure on your Kindle app, or begin the journey with a paperback copy.

Can I start the series with Book 5, or do I have to start with Book 1?
You can with any book in the series, but it's most enjoyed by starting with Book 1 and reading them in order. All books have a brief preface to catch the reader up on the story without spoiling the plot.

Why does it cost more than the other books in the series?
Book 5 is 40% longer than Book 1 (by word count) and has a total of 60 illustrations. All that makes it more expensive to print, so the book costs 8% more than the others in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved reading Quest in Yosemite National Park

Quest in Yosemite National Park, Book 5 in the National Park Mystery Series is a great book of adventures in a National Park. It was suspenseful in the 1880 portions & the lost boy.Learning about codes and ciphers, using a compass and orienting, search and rescue, and a little about some of the people important to the park service was fun. The book was educational in learning about safety in hiking, earning trust of parents, and overcoming fears. The characters are well developed. I loved the illustrations throughout the book. The front and back covers of the book are beautiful. Just looking at them creates a sense of peace. As one of the beta readers, I know that Aaron Johnson works diligently to make each book the best he can. He also takes seriously the suggestions received for improvements. I am looking forward to the next book.

This series is wonderful, the characters are captivating and memorable, and the story is engaging and appropriate for young readers. I especially appreciate the hiking safety, parent responsibility, and respect for the outdoors the is so often missed in kids literature these days. My daughter and I love reading these together and she gets so excited when the newest one arrives. Keep em coming.

Look no further if you seek adventure and mystery on a scale second to none. In this 5th installment of his Rocky Mountain National Park series, Aaron Johnson has exceeded the expectations of his readers with Quest in Yosemite National Park.I bought all five of these books for myself and for each set of my grandchildren to enjoy and share by reading together with them. My grandchildren love the excitement and pace of the books and are thoroughly intrigued and enthralled with every turn of the page! When I started reading this book series back in 2022, my youngest grandchildren (who were reading with and to me) were 8, the oldest was 11. My 11 year old who will soon be 14 in April, asked me a month ago when the next book would be released. The now three 10-year-olds and my two 12-year-olds continue to love the series as well and we've had fun creating our own scavenger hunts inspired by the series.My daughter and her family have traveled and explored more National Parks than I have, however, we have all pursued plans to visit more of them because of the facts, the history, and the information the author has provided at the end of each book.There is so much this book series has to offer. The relationships between the adult parents and the three young teen characters are a refreshing encouraging addition. While Jake, Wes, and Amber continue to pursue the unfolding mystery taking place; the clues, codes, maps, riddles, and compass use are ever expanding to the delight of the reader. Another plus is the running parallel story set in the 1880s that is connected to the present day. It will find you wanting this book and the series to never end.What a joy to find yourself eager to dive into this latest endeavor taking place in Yosemite. The hunt to find and protect the secret left by the clues to Jake from his grandfather lead to new ventures. Some are quite unanticipated and they will leave you on the edge of your seat as you fly through the pages to discover what lies ahead.As an extra bonus, if your school participates in the (AR) Accelerated Reader program, students can take tests after reading the books and earn up to 6 points if they score 100%. *One more noteworthy mention, you'll love the illustrations throughout the books that have been drawn by none other than the author himself and his eldest daughter making a great book a superb book!Happy reading, Barbara S ~ Grana from Texas

I am ready for book 6. I love traveling with you Mr. Johnson and being apart of Jake, Wes and Amber's adventures. Thank you for including me in your credits as a Beta reader. It has been a pleasure being able to do this. I can never get tired of these books. They keep you in suspense and you just can't put the book down. Thank you for taking on this quest and bringing such enjoyment in our traveling experiences. I have read and reread all 5 of these books myself, and also read them to my library classes. They are a very good read and the students enjoy them as well. I always tell them that we are traveling to places we would love to go to sometime, but for now these stories will take them there. It is a must read not only for kids but adults as well. Very suspenseful and you don't want to put the book down because you just want to keep reading to know what will happen next. Thank you for keeping the enjoyment of reading alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best in the series yet!

I purchased the National Park series books for my grandchildren but I must admit that I enjoy them just as much! Each book continues the storyline of Jake and the gang and their adventures visiting National Parks with their families. I really love that there are so many hand drawn pictures to help even the youngest kids imagine and visualize as they follow along.Another thing I like is that the storyline is recapped at the beginning for those of us who are reading them as they come out. If you read a lot like I do it gets harder to recall all the little but important details from a book you read months prior or 7 books ago. If you are starting with this book it fills you in on the storyline so the book makes sense.I won't give away all the details of the storyline but I do enjoy all the detailed information of Yosemite National Park. I will never get to visit the location but it's almost like being there myself. The descriptive way the author portrays the area makes you feel like you are standing in the open wilderness enjoying the beauty the area has to offer. Even though it's a children's book all these little details seep from the pages.I highly recommend this series whether you have children who enjoy the outdoors or not. The storyline and series of books may peak their curiosity of the great outdoors. There is so much to discover out there!

So Great!
