What if the sasquatch was real and he lived near Mount Saint Helen? In a new spin on a classic Bigfoot adventure, one boy will discover the truth.

Dylan's father has always been a little unusual. But when he joins a Sasquatch-hunting team led by a top bigfoot-researcher on the slopes of Mount Saint Helen, Dylan worries this is his weirdest decision yet. To keep an eye on his dad, Dylan follows him--teaming up with an aging field biologist, Samuel Johnson, to keep tabs on the expedition. But as the two of them track the Sasquatch-hunting party, Dylan might be in more trouble than he thought...

As they follow his father's group, somebody else is following Mr. Johnson. And on top of everything, Dylan is beginning to wonder if maybe his dad is right about bigfoot after all--maybe the Sasquatch does exist. And maybe it's closer than Dylan ever guessed.

In an exciting exploration of a cryptid legend, bestselling author Roland Smith delivers an action-packed adventure rife with daring, danger, and heart.
