Enjoy a fast-paced, middle-grade adventure, Sasquatch, by Roxanne Seubert. Set in the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest, the story follows 13-year-old Connor, whose life is unraveling due to his parents’ divorce. While on a camping trip, it’s a catastrophe when his dear puppy, Dax, goes missing. What begins as a desperate search for his lost pet quickly spirals into something very unexpected. Connor discovers there’s a real live Bigfoot on the loose, and he shares an extraordinary face-to-face encounter with the legendary Sasquatch.

With the help of his best friend Darius and his spirited younger sister Penny, Connor embarks on a mission that blends a heartfelt search for Dax, with hunting for the mysterious forest creature, and balancing emotional family dynamics. The trio must navigate the dangers of the wilderness, secret spots in the forest, and also a shadowy group of U.S. Marshals who seem to have their own plans for the hide-and-seek creature.
