Everything Jake Nelson has wished for is coming true. He's finally getting to know his long-lost father, school is a lot less scary with best friends Jasmine and Lanny, and their company, Sasquatch Hunters of Washington, Inc., is taking off. When Jasmine's father invites everyone to a long weekend at their cabin on Harriman Lake, the kids jump at the chance. Legend has it that there is a treasure buried somewhere in the woods nearby, and the "hairy man" the lake is named after might be a Sasquatch. But the deeper they dive into their investigation, tricky puzzles, mysterious locals, and new friendships threaten to break the group apart. Jake may be able to follow the treasure's clues, but will he lose something even more valuable along the way?
K.B. Jackson lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest. A full-time writer and part-time genealogist, she loves to craft stories with elements of history and family dynamics. She modeled the character of Jake after her youngest son, now a teenager, who has been fascinated by cryptids since kindergarten.

Awesome Characters!
The second book in this series did not disappoint. The mystery kept me hooked until the very end, just like the last book. I love the way the characters grew since the first book, and the new challenges they face, especially with the new characters they interact with. Speaking of new characters, I think Benny is my favorite character. She has great quotes. Overall, I think this is a fantastic book and would totally recommend it to kids looking for a new series. By the way…I am 14, but started this series a few years back.
