Join us to chat about The Cryptid Club: Bigfoot Takes the Field by Michael Brumm, and play BINGO! Join us for some fun by talking about The Cryptid Club: Bigfoot Takes the Field by Michael Brumm! The first 4 students to register will receive a free copy of the graphic novel. Upon registration, please come to the Trove reference desk to pick up your free copy of the graphic novel. Other participants can have a copy placed on hold for them. For best discussion results, please make sure to read the graphic novel before coming to the program. We will also be playing a BINGO game based on the graphic novel and snacking on treats. About The Cryptid Club: Bigfoot Takes the Field: Lily knows better than to listen to the gossip her little brother, Henry, has heard, but when her school newspaper needs a big headline, the rumor that Bigfoot has been spotted is the best lead she's got. But when claw marks appear on the football equipment and excessive animal hair starts clogging-up the gym showers, Lily knows she can't be afraid. This is her opportunity to break the story wide-open. But can Lily, Henry, and Oliver, the neighbor-kid they're babysitting, discover what Bigfoot wants before it's too late?
