Loch and his sister are with their father on a scientific exp edition when suddenly a hideous water beast explodes out of the water, and a photographer, hoping to get the picture of a lifetime, gets devoured

| Book Reviews |
|
"Fast, furious, and masterful." -- Kirkus
"Readers who enjoy gory horror stories will appreciate Zindel's latest, in which lovable (though human-eating) creatures trapped in a Vermont lake become prey for a ruthless man. 16 year-old Loch and his sister accompany their father on a job for the ruthless Mr. Cavenger. The climax is dramatic, and the horror elements of the story are successful." -- Chris Sherman Booklist
"The gruesome attacks by Pleisosaurs on some humans are gory and grisly enough to satisfy even the blood-thirstiest of middle schoolers. Zindel's style blends descriptive, figurative language with YA dialogue." -- Connie Tyrrell Burns School Library Journal
"A good, rip roaring, kids-know-best adventure." -- Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books |
