Is the legendary Bigfoot real?

Twelve-year-old Alec Kerley finds out, in an adventure he'll never forget!

Alec's mom died six months ago, and his world is upside down. Now, it's just Alec and his dad, alone, together but apart.

Making matters worse, Alec has discovered that his dad works for a secret government agency that investigates monsters — real, living, breathing monsters!

When Alec joined his dad and the Gonzalezes, longtime family friends of the Kerleys, on what he thought was a short getaway to the Branson, Missouri area, he and his best friend Ken Gonzalez, along with Ken's sister Sarah and her pretty friend Emily, expected to stay in cabins with a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. What they got instead was a close encounter with a wiggly kid named Ethan Elvis Edgar, who breaks wind whenever he gets scared, and a terrifying attack by a group of the fabled Bigfoots, who are not happy the vacationers are there.

And what Alec learns through his experience is that faith and hope and healing can be found in the most unexpected places — even in the midst of the Terror of Bigfoot!

About the author

Douglas Tanner has been writing since fifth grade when he began sharing his stories with friends. His first story was about a monster attack on Halloween night. He lives in Kansas City with his wife, son, two daughters, a wise old schnoodle named Snuffleupagus (Snuffy for short), and a yappy little toy poodle named Zoey.

Doug once developed a really bad sunburn from driving a motorcycle all day in only a pair of gym shorts (bad idea). His love of monsters began after watching old scary movies on TV with his grandfather on Saturday nights. Doug loves studying the Bible, reading classic adventure novels and old comics, spending time with family, and snorkeling in the ocean.
