title: Encountering Bigfoot: Eyewitness Accounts (Eyewitness to the Unexplained)
author: Katherine Krohn
description: Gr 3-5-In comic book format, each of these volumes re-creates eight or nine reported encounters with aliens, spectral figures, or cryptids. Though done by different artists, the pictures have a uniformly rough, sketchy look throughout, and the page design is unusually busy and cluttered looking. Direct quotes from eyewitnesses, printed in a different color, are mixed in with the invented dialogue. However, series title notwithstanding, those quotes are not only rare, they add little, being mostly generic comments such as "Let's get out of here!" or "Look, the doe's skull is flattened." Each incident ends with an invitation for readers to decide for themselves whether it actually happened, but no real evidence is presented either way; each volume even includes a cautionary note that eyewitness accounts "cannot be proven true or false." Weak competition for the equivalent volumes in Jennifer Rivkin's "Mysterious Monsters" (Rosen) series.(c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

  Something is afoot in Timber Falls—and it isn't Bigfoot.
  The world thought her father was a crackpot, but famous outdoor
  photographer Rozalyn Sawyer has come back to town to prove them wrong.
  Back for the first time since her mother's tragic death ten
  years ago, Rozalyn has no idea what she's up against.
  This reporter has learned that Ford Lancaster, the infamous
  scientist and Bigfoot hoax buster, was seen at Betty's Café. What could have
  brought this tall, dark and intense hunk to town? Is it possible Ford Lancaster
  is on the trail of Bigfoot? Or is he on a collision course with Rozalyn
  Sawyer? Never fear, this reporter, Charity Jenkins, will get to the bottom of
  it.
