Simon Okill returns with ‘Phantom Bigfoot Strikes Again’ the second book in his Bigfoot series and I, for one, am very glad.  Set, like the first book ‘Nobody Loves a Bigfoot Like a Bigfoot Babe’, in the small Northern California town of Big Beaver, the incredible cast of characters is back for another round of hijinks.This one is hard to categorize since it doesn’t fit neatly into one box. Our protagonist, Duane, is a teen with a very adult perspective. As such, young adult readers, as well as older folks who enjoy a healthy dash of goofy with their adventures, will enjoy Phantom Bigfoot. It’s a campy mystery adventure with supernatural overtones and a variety of eccentric relationships that burgeon from some most unlikely situations. And as our hero, Duane, does his best to keep the hapless law officials and townspeople at bay, in the back of his mind you know he’s continuing to search for the answer to the question, why can’t big, furry alien creatures find love and live happily ever after too?In the end it’s a feel-good tale about protecting those who are a bit different from others and finding love and acceptance. It’s highly recommended for people who enjoy quirky comedies that seamlessly move between lowbrow hijinks and astute observations about the human spirit. Phantom Bigfoot is irreverent, it’s clever, and Okill’s imagination has created a unique world for his readers to explore and enjoy.Best of all, it’s a very funny book.
