5 Stars plus:)A ten-day hike in the Canadian Rockies-what could be better than that? So thinks Danny, who along with five other adolescents (including his sister Em), and the prickly old guide, Harvin, are backpacking in the wilds, sleeping out under the stars, gathering their own firewood, cooking meals, and being blessed by the beauty of the scenery. The teens are embarked on a glorious trip, indeed, and as an undertone both Danny and his new friend, Joachim, are developing an interest in two of the girls-Danny in the beauteous, always cheery, Breyona, and Joachim-nicknamed Wa by old Harvin, in Danny’s sister Em, whom their mother insisted be part of the excursion.
All is well until, while down at the river collecting fresh water for their canteens, guide Harvin suddenly disappears, and Breyona and Danny are startled, then affrighted, by piercing shrieks and subsequent roars.
It’s not just their ears that will be assaulted, it’s their eyes. What they see next is strictly unreal: a four-legged, pointed-footed, two-headed, shrieking creature; and a fully-haired black creature the size of the purported Bigfoot of rural legend. Breyona and Danny assume that these two are adversaries, but they’re certainly not prepared when they hear the Bigfoot-type creature speak-in English.
I truly loved this book and intend to reread it. Author Edstrom has done a fantastic job of weaving legend, mythology, and the meta-normal into a fine novel-and not just that: Mr. Edstrom readily achieved suspension of disbelief and made me BELIEVE what I was reading! What he does with his characters is super-fantastic: with just a few strokes, he paints their present, past history, and hints at their futures-and instantly we feel as if we know them, understand them, and empathise with them, suffering their pain and anxieties, happy with their joys, frightened along with their fears. I can’t wait to read more by this superb novelist. This is a story you need to set aside time to read, because by the time you’ve read just a few sentences, you’ll forget everything else that might be going on around you!

Genre: YA adventure (has some science fictiony elements)
Book Description:
Six teens and a grizzled old guide embark on a ten day expedition into the wilds of the Canadian Rockies. Some came for adventure. Some came to learn. Two came to escape.
For sixteen year old Danny Michaelson the hike is a chance to escape—if only for short time—his troubled home.
For Breyona Lewis the hike is an escape from a terrible memory—of an assault she denies even to herself.
But when Danny and Breyona encounter a creature out of legend—an enormous beast they immediately tag as "bigfoot"—the hike suddenly becomes a race for their lives.
Swept into a secret underground city and told they may never leave, the hikers find themselves in the middle of a war between the bigfeet and their rebellious servant race, the tangoga. In their desperate attempt to escape, Danny and Breyona uncover the terrible plans that both races have for Earth.
To escape, to live, to save the Earth—Danny must fight. Breyona must surrender.
