NPR recently launched the Backseat Book Club, which encourages young readers to read a selected book and send in questions for the author to answer on-air. 

In December, we’re adding a new twist. Three copies of the Backseat Book Club selection, Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu, have been hidden in Michigan Radio’s listening area. If listeners can track down the book based on our clues and take a photo of themselves with it, their treasure hunt story may be featured on the Backseat Book Club webpage.  Plus, the first person to find the book wins the book and other prizes!

If you find the book, email your photo to: marketing@michiganradio.org Remember, the first person to send in a photo of themselves with that book wins!

The books have been hidden in easily accessible locations in Ann Arbor, Flint and Grand Rapids. Use our photo clues shown above to locate the book in your area. You can also check back for further clues later. Good luck!

Here are some hints to help you:

Ann Arbor – The other books in the photo should be a big hint.

Flint – This location is a real Whizbang!

Grand Rapids – A great place for coffee…and books in Grand Rapids.
