About This Book
Reach for this book when your child begins to feel the weight of adult responsibilities or starts to find their parent's eccentricities more embarrassing than endearing. Twelve-year-old Miranda Cho is tired of her mother's obsession with cryptozoology, especially as the bills go unpaid and their home faces foreclosure. This story explores the complex transition from childhood wonder to adolescent skepticism and the painful realization that parents are flawed human beings. While it features a quest for Bigfoot, the heart of the story is about a girl trying to save her family's stability. It is a deeply moving look at financial hardship and the resilience required when a child feels like the only 'grown-up' in the room. Ideal for ages 8 to 12, it provides a safe space to discuss family loyalty and the balance between logic and belief.
