The Sasquatch Escape

The Sasquatch Escape by Suzanne Selfors, 215 pages


This is the first book in a new series, The Imaginary Veterinary.  We first meet Ben, who is being sent to stay with his grandfather for the summer.  We also meet Pearl, a girl who lives in the same town as Ben’s grandfather.  Ben and Pearl both see a large bird on the day Ben arrives in town.  Pearl thinks it is a dragon.  Ben isn’t sure what it is but when a small creature that seems to be an injured baby dragon appears in his bed, Ben also recalls a strange man he and his grandfather saw at the store who had a recipe for artificial dragon’s milk.  Ben and Pearl seek him out at the newly opened worm hospital where they make a fantastic discover about many creatures that they didn’t know really existed.  Unfortunately, in the process, they accidentally let a Sasquatch escape and are given the task of retrieving it before it causes any trouble.  This is a fun fantasy story for school age readers.
