Sharma Shields's The Sasquatch Hunter's Almanac (Holt McDougal) is a dark, fantastical tale about a family whose patriarch is consumed by the hunt for the mythical, elusive sasquatch he encountered in his youth. Eli Roebuck was nine years old when his mother walked off into the woods with "Mr. Krantz," a large, strange, hairy man who may or may not be a sasquatch. What Eli knows for certain is that his mother went willingly, leaving her only son behind. For the rest of his life, Eli is obsessed with the hunt for the bizarre creature his mother chose over him, and we watch it affect every relationship he has — with his father, first and second wives, children, grandchildren, and colleagues. At times charming and downright horrifying at others, The Sasquatch Hunter's Almanac is a boldly imaginative novel and a devastatingly real portrait of the demons that we as human beings all face.
