Publisher Comments:

Loch and his sister are with their father on a scientific expedition to track lake monsters. Their father's boss, Anthony Cavenger, a ruthless publishing mogul, is determined to prove that the legends are fact. Until now, it has been a fruitless exercise. But suddenly, on a routine exploration, a hideous water beast explodes out of the water, and a photographer, hoping to get the picture of a lifetime, loses his life instead. The plesiosaurs terrorize the secluded lake community, but Loch encounters a baby plesiosaur and realizes that the monsters only attack when threatened. So he risks his life-and the lives of his family and friends-to save the prehistoric creatures from destruction. 1995 Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers (ALA) 1995 Books for the Teen Age (NY Public Library)

Synopsis:

Now with a fresh new look. Fifteen-year-old Loch and his younger sister join their father on a scientific expedition searching for prehistoric creatures sighted in a Vermont lake, but soon discover that the expedition's leaders aren't interested in preserving the creatures.

As a child I was fascinated with anything concerning magic, mythical creatures, and scary stories. This book has all three! A brother and sister brave fearsome (sometimes) creatures and adults to do the right thing, and learn some lessons along the way. It's a fast paced, easy to read book for pre-teens (although I still read it from time to time and I'm an adult).
