That's not true. He does remember. The truth: He was driving with his parents, and the car crashed when his father swerved to avoid colliding with a giant Sasquatch-like creature standing in the highway. <p/>Haunted by his parents' disappearance and hounded for claiming to have seen Bigfoot, Adam sets off into the deadly wilderness on a hunt for answers as to what really happened that night. The answer he finds is more terrifying--and more fascinating--than he could have imagined.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"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." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"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 <i>Hatchet</i> by Gary Paulsen, as well as <i>Call of the Wild</i>." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"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." --<i>School Library Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Watt Key</b>, a descendant of the Francis Scott Key family, is the author of numerous books for young readers, among them <i>Deep Water, Terror at Bottle Creek, </i>and <i>Alabama Moon</i>, which was named to <i>Time </i>magazine's list of the 100 Best Young Adult Books of All Time.
