The Sasquatch Escape

"From the first dragon sighting, readers will be thoroughly entertained with this hijinks-filled adventure story." —Library Media Connection, starred review When Ben Silverstein is sent to the small town of Buttonville to spend the summer with his grandfather, he's certain it will be the most boring vacation ever. That is, until his grandfather's cat brings home what looks like . . . a baby dragon? Amazed, Ben enlists the help of local girl Pearl Petal. They take the wounded dragon to the only veterinarian's office in town — Dr. Woo's Worm Hospital. But as Ben and Pearl discover, Dr. Woo's isn't a worm hospital at all — it's actually a secret hospital for imaginary creatures. After Ben accidentally leaves the hospital's front door unlocked, a rather large and very hairy beast escapes. Ben and Pearl are tasked with retrieving the runaway creature, and what started out as an ordinary summer becomes the adventure of a lifetime. Suzanne Selfors delivers a wild journey filled with mythical creatures and zany adventures.
