THE BIGWOOF CONSPIRACY BY DASHE ROBERTS

⭐⭐⭐



WELCOME TO STICKY PINES! Honestly, a place I want to live. Mysterious lights in the sky, sightings of bigfoot, whose face resembles a bulldog and yet mysteriously looks like a frog, and more conspiracy theories raised than the question, "are we truly alone in the universe?". Where do I sign!? 

The story begins where we meet 12-year-old Lucy Sladan, a UFO fanatic who clearly isn’t a believer in an early night for school. Instead, seeks the truth sneaking out into the woods to unravel the mystery of blue lights in the sky and locals disappearing, which Lucy feels are connected! Her adventure truly begins when she makes the biggest claim to fame discovering BIGFF...WOOF!? 

From this moment on, this book holds more adventure than Indiana Jones and even more mystery than the unexplained! 

I routed for Lucy throughout this book, who is as persistent as Hermione Granger when it comes to uncovering the truth! The characters all have warmth (one was cold) from a 13-year-old stranger turned friend of Lucys named Milo, the two Mrs Stricks and the man in the banana costume! There is no imagination left unturned when it comes to The Bigwoof Conspiracy. 

Dashe Roberts has totally rekindled my childhoods most favourite unsolved mystery, the Bigfoot....and to one day discover, what Pine tree sap tastes of!? I loved this book...Yes loved. A word I associate with family and this is what I gained by visiting this quaint little forgotten corner of the world called Sticky Pines! 

Even though this is an MG book, Dashe's debut novel is imperceptible in its genre, at times you’d think you were reading a YA horror. Mad Dashe entices the adult reader with dark and horrific scenes including Bigwoof metamorphosises, like those seen in American Werewolf in London, which will leave you fearing for Lucy's life. This was my excuse anyway for buying and reading this delightful adaptation of a Bigfoot mystery!
