The Cryptid Files: Loch Ness

The Cryptid Files: Loch Ness

by JeanFlitcroft (Author)

Synopsis

Vanessa Day is not impressed when her father brings his new girlfriend, Lee, on a family holiday to Scotland. Vanessa had been looking forward to exploring the Loch and maybe even seeing one of the Cryptids her mother had studied before she died - these animals may exist in nature, but their existence has not yet been accepted by modern science. And the most famous Cryptid of all is the Loch Ness monster. Set against the eerie stillness of Loch Ness, The Cryptid Files is a touching story filled with adventure, excitement and emotion as Vanessa gets her wish, with surprising consequences.
