Review - Meet the Bigfeet (The Yeti Files #1)

 

Meet the Bigfeet (The Yeti Files #1) - Kevin Sherry, author/illustrator

Summary (from Goodreads):
Blizz Richards is a great guy, a caring boss, and a loyal friend. Oh, yeah...he's also a yeti! He's made it his life's mission to study cryptids like him, hidden animals who have taken a powerful oath to never be seen by the outside world.

So when a photo of Cousin Brian becomes a media sensation, Brian can't handle the guilt and disappears. But it's time for the annual Bigfoot family reunion, and it won't be the same without him. Luckily, Blizz and his devoted team are on the case. Can they find their furry friend before their secret gets out for good?


My Review:
This book is fast paced to the point of frenetic; the pace made me fairly anxious, if I'm honest. The varied print sizes and weight make the text very exciting-looking for some readers; struggling readers or dyslexic readers will probably have a hard time with just the visual aspects, let alone the strange characters and plot.  The characters are goofy and fairly amusing, and there is a bit of a mystery element, which some readers may find interesting.  Apparently there are more books in this series, but the visuals in this are so overwhelming to me that I probably won't seek out the next few for my classroom library unless students specifically request them.
