Question

Review 2:

2 Saving a Sasquatch by Beth Ann Carpenter is a story about a teacher who takes her class on a nature hike. Instead of finding leaves and plants, though, they find a creature that they think might be a Sasquatch. They learn, however, that it is actually a man named Benny who lives in town, and several kids from the class become friends with him. Parts of the book are unbelievable. First of all, how could they mistake a man for a Sasquatch? Also, Carpenter uses several of the book’s characters to narrate the story, and sometimes it was hard to tell which character was speaking. I did like that the book showed how hard it can be to make friends, and I thought the characters were well developed. In the book, it was difficult for Benny to go out in public because he was almost seven feet tall. People would give him weird looks and whisper behind his back. What those people did not know, however, was that Benny was a nice person who helped out at charities and ran the town’s soup kitchen. Benny taught the class an important lesson about seeing beyond a person’s outside appearance and realizing what he is like on the inside is what matters most.
