Following his parents' ugly divorce, Jake Oliver chooses to move with his father to a remote corner of Connecticut. Bad enough their new home turns out to be a fenced-in dump in the middle of nowhere, but it seems that the previous owner, his dad’s late Uncle Horace, had been the local crackpot ridiculed by the community for his belief that a Bigfoot roamed the vast woodland preserve that lay beyond the property. Not everything about Jake’s new life is bad, though. His job at the local market is okay, and it doesn’t hurt that his coworker is pretty Nell Davis. But when odd things start to happen, like weird calls in the dead of night, stones thrown by an unseen assailant, and lingering foul odors wafting on the breeze, Jake starts to believe that maybe old Horace wasn’t so crazy after all. With Nell’s help, Jake is determined to make a name for himself by proving to the world that the mythical Sasquatch is alive and well and living in the woods just on the other side of that fence.

In my middle school years I absolutely loved legendary tales. The Sasquatch, Lochness Monster, etc. I was a collector of these stories. Those and ghost stories. I can see this bringing back some serious memories of why I enjoyed such tales.
ReplyDeleteEven out of high school (lived in Jacksonville, NC) we had older friends and family who told mysterious stories about sitings, etc. I never knew how to take them. lol
I enjoy these stories too. I still watch TV shows about them.
DeleteHa! Books where the crazy person isn't maybe so nuts after all are always entertaining.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteSounds like a fun read. And anything Sasquatch-related is big money too these days.
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteThis sounds like so much fun! We are huge Sasquatch fans in this household.
ReplyDeleteOoh, nice! This is perfect for you and your family then. :)
DeleteSounds like an interesting book and different from anything I've come across lately.. except for those big foot specials they have on television, of course=)
ReplyDeleteI love the cover! Best of luck with your book, Andrea!
I agree, Gina. And I'll second the well wishes.
DeleteI truly believe in Big Foot, and try to read every book that comes out. Looking forward to reading this on too.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Sherry. This is definitely a book for you then.
DeleteWhat an interesting book! The cover definitely catches the reader's attention. I also liked learning about the author (I live in CT and for about 9 years I taught a class in the Masters of Education program at the University of Bridgeport- but I don't think Andrea was one of my students.)
ReplyDeleteThat would be funny if she was. ;)
DeleteSo neat how the fence comes into play on the cover. And I was terrorized as a kid by that movie where the family hits a Bigfoot and and ties it to the top of their car. Can't remember the name though!
ReplyDeleteI could handle Bigfoot as a child. Dolls? Now that's another story. ;)
DeleteI do like that cover!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteGreat cover and I love this legend. I've never had a chance to read about it in fiction.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It's one I think everyone's at least heard about, so I assume there'd be a huge audience for this book.
DeleteCongrats to the author. The idea of a book about Sasquatch sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI think so too.
