personal Rating- 
{ Not for
Sensitive Animal Lovers }
I don’t find the topic of Bigfoot to be interesting, so I found this book to be more than a little disappointing. Which is sad, since this is the last Alexis book in this series. While this series is technically for Pre-teens, none of the prior books have felt “childish” to me, but this one definitely did. The mentions of assumptions of “Bigfoot” getting people’s pets was also unnecessary in my eyes and was not resolved at the end of the book well.
What Spiritual content there was felt very forced and the Scriptures used felt a little like a stretch.
So, unfortunately, this was definitely my least favorite in the series. I hope the last couple ones will be better.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
