Back Cover Blurb:

The Northwoods of Minnesota boasts that it is the “The Home of Bigfoot.” However, in Diana Warden’s lonely world, there is nothing worse than the monsters she deals with in the high school hallways. She is also haunted by the memories of her brother’s mysterious accident that left him paralyzed. She would do anything to forget.

When Diana rides her horse deep into the forest behind her home, she finds herself under the attack of a mountain lion. Out of thin air, a gargantuan boy appears and rescues her. The gigantic nomad is seriously injured, but he refuses to allow Diana to call for help. He demands she keeps his existence a secret–to protect his people from the hunters that track their every move.

As their friendship grows, he peels back the secrets surrounding his people and their long, perilous history. Diana works tirelessly to save her new “Bigfoot friend,” but she soon discovers they share an interwoven history that now entangles their future.

Diana isn’t supposed to know the Treeple exist, but she quickly discovers they don’t make exceptions.
