Scavenger Hunt by Christopher Pike

5.0

I was a bit disappointed with the Christopher Pike books that I had read so far. I started to think that I was remembering the books I read as a teenager wrong, and that they weren't as insane as I remembered. Well, I'm glad that I continued to read through Pike's books because this one was BONKERS and I loved every minute of it!

I love books that have riddles and scavenger hunts so this hooked me right away. The prologue hints at the craziness to come and it jumps right into the scavenger hunt. The hints are a mix between things that the reader can solve and things that only the characters can figure out. Even though the scavenger hunt part ends about halfway through the book the mystery and the final reveal kept me hooked until the end.
SpoilerCome for the riddles. Stay for the ancient lizard people.
