Something’s crashing through the woods. A dark storm rumbles over misty Mount Erie. Ancient cryptids are rising.
When Dylan Wylde’s eccentric, vampire-hunting neighbor reports a Bigfoot problem just over Deception Pass Bridge on Fidalgo Island, Dylan knows it’s no joke. Days before Thanksgiving break, he and his loyal friends find themselves checking into the Splendid Duck Lodge — a beautiful place harboring a dark secret.
A Sasquatch has been sighted, terrifying tourists and locals alike. But as Dylan digs deeper, he uncovers a secret even stranger than a single cryptid on the loose: there are two Bigfoot brothers roaming the forest, and only one of them means the island any harm.
Eerie howls pierce the forest at night while strange, spindly creatures climb the swaying tree trunks. The lodge is on edge, and mystery lurks behind every corner.
Worse, Dylan’s disturbing nightmares — the ones that have plagued him for days — seem to be turning into reality. Can he and his fearless friends tell the good Bigfoot from the bad one before his dreadful premonitions come true?
Perfect for Goosebumps fans and reluctant readers who crave a weird middle grade mystery with a Bigfoot twist you won’t see coming, The Mount Erie Bigfoot is packed with cryptid thrills, spooky encounters, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship!
