The third installation of the series is just as humorous and fun as the first one. I like the addition of Joseph Bruchac as co-writer to bring in cultural insight about the mythology and Native American tribe included in this book.

I read this books with my 10yo and we really love them. I'm impressed with how throughout the series we get to understand and rely on characters. I'm also finding the environmentalism rooted in these unexpected but radical nonetheless.

Ben is still really enjoying listening to this series, and demanded the next book as soon as we finished this one (and I'm anticipating his disappointment when he realizes there are only 4 out so far!) It was also great timing because we saw a "sasquatch crossing" sign on our camping trip and Ben's eyes just about popped out of his head. The character development and plot aren't substantial enough for me to keep reading on my own, but it's at a great level for an early elementary kid to listen to - more complicated and nuanced than something like Magic Tree House, but with enough predictability for a 6 year old.

I think I liked this even more than the first book! More people need to be reading and talking about this series. They are STELLAR.

Perfectly decent beginning chapter book with a little extra in the department of the Pacific Northwest, the Muckleshoot Nation and a tender spot for Sasquatches. I appreciate very much that Joseph Bruchac was a contributor, and that the Muckleshoot community was involved in the creation of this book. Weirdly, I sometimes felt like it was reinforcing stereotypes about Native Americans, rather than exploding them (the whole nickname thing was uncomfortable), but on the whole it's a decent, silly adventure that touches on respecting Tribal autonomy and saving the environment and those are things that I can get behind.
Upon re-reading, I felt that there was a lot more in there, hiding behind the silly banter. There's a discussion of cultural genocide and the removal of children, for example. There are careful references to healthy and respectful interactions with nature as well.

It just made sense to follow up my last Bigfoot book with this one about saving Sasquatches. I actually got them both at the same conference and met both authors.
This is the third in a series about kids who go around helping mythical animals. I felt like I was able to jump in to the series here and not miss anything (that I know of). This is definitely for a younger audience than the last one. I really loved that this was educational about the earth, animals, and a Native tribe while still being a fun kidventure. I will probably buy this series for my nieces and nephews.

Another fun entry in the series. I really enjoyed the info about the Muckleshoot tribe and the environmental message.

My kids and I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first two. Good story, but not quite as funny.
