Super Sasquatch Showdown: Sasquatch and Aliens

Sasquatch and Aliens #2

by Charise Mericle Harper

Super Sasquatch Showdown by Charise Mericle Harper is the second book in the hilarious, illustrated Sasquatch and Aliens series.

When Morgan and Lewis receive a cryptic letter and a key from Mr. Lee, they get to enter his garage studio and see his life-like costume creations. Is the alien they meet there just another one of Mr. Lee's movie robots or is it a bonafide extraterrestrial? Morgan and Lewis must uncover the details to solve the mystery while they also try to convince their town that the Sasquatch footprint located in the woods is the real deal and not a fake made by Mr. Lee's Sasquatch robot. Yes – robots, aliens, and Sasquatches abound and the big question through it all for Morgan and Lewis is – what is real and what's pretending to be real. With so much at stake, they must be able to tell their friends from their foes.

The sequel to Alien Showdown is even more fun and surprising than the first book. Morgan's sister Betty gets to continue as a strong supporting character as does Lewis's brother Red. The mysterious Mr. Lee plays a huge role in this one as well. Looking forward to meeting Goshzilla. These are highly recommended for elementary-age boys.

I feel certain that this book...and its prequel will get passed around the classroom. they are funny and speak perfectly to 3rd, 4th , 5th and 6th... older kids who just want something FUN. Real...fabricated...serious...or not. You decide. I love the dancing scene.

In the second installment of this funny series, Morgan and Lewis are determined to prove that they saw a Sasquatch in the woods. As Morgan writes even more of his acrostic poems and the two boys finish a report on plankton for Mr. Lee, they slip into his studio and discover what might be an alien. The hilarity and over-the-top nature of the two friends' tales are leavened by the authentic descriptions of school days and the attempts of Betty, Morgan's sister, to learn how to dance, even if it is with an alien, unbeknownst to her. Anyone who is entertained by small mysteries, bossy sisters, stinky boys, and a very clever costume designer will enjoy this one and look for more in the series in the future.

For your students who can't get enough of Wimpy Kid and Nate the Great.
Morgan and Lewis, in this sequel to Sasquatch and Aliens: Alien Encounter, have received a mysterious letter and a key which may hold the answer to whether or not sasquatches really exist.
Funny, lots of pictures, and boy appeal.

Cute, silly fun. I'll be seeking the first book in this series and talking it up to my students.

A great sequel to Alien Encounter that is just as funny as the first. I would recommend this series to people who like Alvin Ho or Justin Case.
