It's hard to take a book seriously when its title is "Phantom Bigfoot", but that's perfectly all right because the book doesn't take itself seriously either. Duane Dexter is a bizarre teenager with a double life - as if it weren't already bizarre to be a teenager in the first place. To start, he is the Phantom Bigfoot, and is entrusted with the fate of his fellow forest-dwellers. To protect the real Bigfoot community that has taken residence in the forest, he masquerades as one of them and pulls pranks on the local community to hide the existence of the actual group of sasquatch. But Duane and company face a new threat when the Vampettes From Venus show up. They are a punk rock band with potentially ulterior motives, and their appearance bodes ill for Duane's idyllic community.The book delivers solid entertainment. It's silly on the level of Monty Python's Flying Circus and chock full of fun.
