Description
Average Joe takes to the wilderness to track down Bigfoot and become a school legend in this brilliantly funny adventure from Lollie Award-winning author Jenny Pearson.
Joe is tired of being called average and feeling completely forgettable at school. So when he hears that a Bigfoot-like beast has been spotted in some nearby woods, he senses an opportunity. Surely capturing Bigfoot will make him stand out from the crowd and bring him the popularity he longs for?
With no real plan or survival skills, Joe and his best friend Tiago set off on what turns out to be an unforgettably hilarious quest with some very unexpected results!
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

About the Author
Jenny Pearson has been awarded six mugs, one fridge magnet, one wall plaque and numerous cards for her role as Best Teacher in the World.

Her debut novel, The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates, was short listed for the Costa Children's Book Award and selected as a Waterstones Book of the Month.
