While geocaching in Arizona's White Mountains, fourteen-year-old Chase discovers, then befriends, two unkempt, frightened boys living at a campsite. Chase learns that their volatile father has kidnapped them; unfortunately, the teen's attempt to help goes awry. Despite pedestrian prose, the novel distinguishes itself through Chase's clever use of both modern technology and old-fashioned brainpower to get out of a dangerous situation.
