Review

"Not going on vacation this year? Give your child an outdoors experience by looking for this, or any of the Adventures with the Parkers books.
Author Mike Graf is a self-professed "national park fanatic" who spends his time exploring our country's parks. Because of his first-hand knowledge, his series are filled with true-life facts, authentic history, places you can really visit and photographs, all wrapped within a story that kids can relate to.

If you happen to be going to Great Smoky Mountains National Park this summer, this book will thrill your 7-to-11-year-old. If you're going elsewhere or not going at all, grab it anyhow and hand it to your adventuresome kid. "Ridge Runner Rescue" is so much fun, it will have your child parked in one spot for hours." --Savannah Morning News, April 2009

"You seriously need every one of these series in your library, no matter which national park you are near." --School Library Journal, June 2009 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

With their great-grandfather’s journal as their guide, ten-year-old twins James and Morgan and their parents backpack twenty-six miles along the Appalachian Trail, spotting synchronized fireflies and North America’s largest salamander species. But will the adventure end when Morgan comes down with a mysterious illness?
