Bookroo's summary

Dylan Maples seeks a peaceful holiday in British Columbia's Rockies, but legends of monsters like the sasquatch and Ogopogo soon disrupt his plans. Joined by his quirky uncle Walter and new friend Alice, Dylan is drawn into a thrilling wilderness adventure. As they delve deeper into the mystery, the line between myth and reality blurs, and danger lurks in the shadows. Will they uncover the truth behind the legendary beasts, or become part of the legend themselves? Dive into a world where every rustle in the forest could be the start of a new adventure.

From the publisher

After Dylan Maples’s terrifying adventure in Alberta, the holiday his parental units plan in British Columbia’s Rocky Mountains seems like a dream. Swimming, hiking, and loafing around are welcome distractions from vivid memories of his narrow escape from The Reptile, the frightening criminal who pursued him and his friends through the badlands. But Dylan soon discovers that he is heading into an area teeming with legends of real-life monsters, among them the sea serpent Ogopogo and the awesome sasquatch. In fact, more mysterious creatures are said to exist in BC than in any other place in the world…. Dylan tries not to take it all too seriously. But when he arrives in the resort town of Harrison Hot Springs and meets his eccentric uncle, Walter Middy, he is pulled right into the heart of the sasquatch mystery. Before you can say, I see a monster!, Dylan, Walter, and their new friend Alice are deep in the wilderness, on the trail of the deadly beast.
