While closely watching the creature, at the bottom of the canyon, you quickly discover that there is something incredibly wrong, that the creature looked too human-like. Within minutes, your tranquil scene quickly turns into one of terror. In your attempt to escape, the confusing scene, the creature detects you and your mystery begins. You begin a journey to answer many confusing questions about your incredible, bone chilling mysterious encounter in the redwoods.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bigfoot Mystery - An Excellent Adventure!, February 10, 2001

By	Kathy Moskowitz (Sonora, CA USA) - See all my reviews

For those of you who would like to know more about Bigfoot, in a fun, interesting setting, this book is for you! Most Bigfoot books are pretty dry and hard to keep your attention. Robert Leiterman does an excellent job of weaving lore, history, and scientific methods into a wonderful story of two young boys who have a sighting and seek to learn more about what they saw. Before you know it, you will have learned more about the creature and the methods that modern day researchers use than you ever thought possible! I highly recommend this book to anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bigfoot mystery, March 7, 2003

By A Customer

The title says it all. The author does an excellent job of weaving his tale through the eyes of two young brothers who stumble upon an unusual site while hiking in the redwoods. After their encounter they go searching for answers with their family and find more questions at times than answers. The author keeps the story interesting with a mix of science, natural history, and good characters based in a family atmosphere. Great for young and older readers. Can't wait to explore "Yeti or Not"

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeti - Sasquatch - Big Foot : Pretty Big shoes to fill!, March 11, 2003

By A Customer

This first book in a series of Bigfoot mystery novels for young readers is an excellent book. It's a nice introduction to the world of cryptozoology and a good informational source of natural resources. Writers get better with each practice and the sequel to this book is "Yeti or Not, Here we come!" is even better!
If Yeti's aren't your thing, buy this book for its insight into natural resources and I also strongly recommend his natural resource book, "Great Valley Grassland Adventure."
