Zack's first trip to sleep-away camp gets a little hairy when legends of a mysterious creature lurking in the woods turn out to be more than just campfire tales. Is it the missing link? Yeti? Sasquatch? Bigfoot?! --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars On the trail of Bigfoot, Mar 28 2002
By Michael J. Mazza (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Zack Files #19 Boy Who Cried Bigfoot (Paperback)
"The Boy Who Cried Bigfoot" is #19 in the "Zack Files" series of short novels for young readers. The fun story by Dan Greenburg is complemented by the cleverly humorous illustrations of Jack E. Davis. In this installment, New York City schoolboy Zack goes to stay at Camp Weno-wanna-getta-wedgee for some summer fun. But he soon finds that the camp is haunted by talk about Bigfoot, the legendary, hulking hairy humanoid. Is Bigfoot real? Will Zack encounter him?

This book is an enjoyable blend of paranormal thrills, humor, and preteen social politics. There is one aspect of the book which, however, didn't work for me. One character describes the camp's ridiculous trivialization of Native American motifs as "politically incorrect." I got the sense that author Greenburg was trying to have it both ways: on one hand, mock the PC watchdogs, and on the other hand, be PC himself by mocking those those who exploit ethnic motifs in a trivial way. The result left me a bit uneasy. But if you can get past that, you may find "Bigfoot" to be an enjoyable romp.

5.0 out of 5 stars safe fun for kids!, July 26 2000
By Lana Nichols (BURBANK, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zack Files #19 Boy Who Cried Bigfoot (Paperback)
Zack and Spencer hit Camp Weno-Wanna-Getta-Wedgee in this fun-filled installment. They enjoy the usual camp things: playing pranks, arts and crafts, looking for Bigfoot... LOOKING FOR BIGFOOT! Yes, the boys go out on the prowl. I won't tell you if they find it - that would ruin the story. Let's just say that not everyone believes Zack and Spencer (when have they?)

This one is fun, fun, fun for kids of all ages. And parents might actually enjoy it, too!
