Critics Review
“Walking a fine line between the fantastic and the realistic, Key creates a scary, page-turning adventure spun from his own experience (set forth in an author’s note)…This compelling cryptid fantasy has its big feet planted firmly in realistic survival fiction.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Key’s adrenaline-packed story chops through palm fronds with a machete, trudges through soul-sucking mangrove mud, and struggles to breathe above the merciless, snake- and alligator-infested currents of adventure as Adam, armed with supplies and a stolen boat, revisits the site of his parents’ accident to track the Bigfoot…A thrilling journey of determination, ideal for fans of Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, as well as Call of the Wild.” –Booklist
“As with all of Keys’s amazing books, give this to the reluctant reader seeking an outdoors adventure or to someone who loves survivalist fiction.” –School Library Journal
