Synopsis

Beast is a fast-paced adventure of guts and survival with a paranormal twist, from acclaimed author Watt Key.

Adam says he can’t remember where he was for the two months he went missing in a Florida swamp. That’s not true. He does remember. The truth: He was driving with his parents, and the car crashed when his father swerved to avoid colliding with a giant Sasquatch-like creature standing in the highway.

Haunted by his parents’ disappearance and hounded for claiming to have seen Bigfoot, Adam sets off into the deadly wilderness on a hunt for answers as to what really happened that night. The answer he finds is more terrifying—and more fascinating—than he could have imagined.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Goodreads review by McCaid

Any book that takes a couple of sittings to finish, and one that I begin reading immediately after receiving, is one that I know I’ll love. While different from Watt’s prior works, BEAST is just as emotionally resonant, intense, and gut-wrenching as his last. Though, this one can be described as a l......more

Goodreads review by Candice

BEAST combines the vivid descriptions of the woods along with the grit and self-reliance we expect and appreciate from Watt Key, though this time he twists the story by sending readers on a wild chase after the elusive cryptid, Bigfoot. His 13 year-old protagonist, Adam Parks, is reeling after the u......more

Thanks to Edelweiss Plus for an ARC of this book. I LOVED Beast! As with all Key's other books, this was a fast paced, non-stop thriller.
