Ilustration In Favor Of Books Loch (Zone Unknown #1)
Loch and his sister are with their father on a scientific expedition to track lake monsters. Their father's boss, Anthony Cavenger, a ruthless publishing mogul, is determined to prove that the legends are fact. Until now, it has been a fruitless exercise. But suddenly, on a routine exploration, a hideous water beast explodes out of the water, and a photographer, hoping to get the picture of a lifetime, loses his life instead. The plesiosaurs terrorize the secluded lake community, but Loch encounters a baby plesiosaur and realizes that the monsters only attack when threatened. So he risks his life-and the lives of his family and friends-to save the prehistoric creatures from destruction. 1995 Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers (ALA) 1995 Books for the Teen Age (NY Public Library)List Books Concering Loch (Zone Unknown #1)

Im not quite sure what to say about this one. Loch offered a lot of promises that it just wasnt capable of living up to. It tried to be gory and violent with such a limited vocabulary that it just gave it a made for TV feel. The plot had a rough feel to it that made it read more like a first draft rather than a completed novel. I kept thinking that all Loch needed was more detail, more description, more build up, more anything. With the lack of actual plot building and details, I failed to trulyThis book was not really my genre, and I didn't like the writing style, the characters, or the overall message. (view spoiler)[Loch saw a mysterious monster attack a herd of sheep at Loch Ness when he was five, thus earning his nickname. Now he is 15 and his father, a scientist, works for an obsessed monster hunter named Cavender. The crew is working by a lake in upstate New York, when they pick up readings for a large unknown creature in the water. The manned boats manage to catch the
It took me awhile to find this book! Read this as a kid and to this day I am pissed he named the damn lochness monster 'Wee Beastie'. Also the kid is like 13 and goes hang gliding alone, wtf.
Loch earned his nickname from his childhood claim that he met the Loch Ness monster. People didn't believe him. They should have. Now as a teen, near Lake Champlain, adults again are not taking him seriously. For some few, they will learn the hard way.A shallowly-written thriller. A bit gory, though tame compared to movies aimed at teens these days. My daughters after hearing the plot summary, had no interest. Four people get eaten, and a few left-over body parts cheaply heighten the ick mood.
What would happen if the Loch Ness monster really existed? What would happen if that monster lived in a lake in the United States? What would you do if it had a baby and that baby were being threatened by people who wanted it dead? find the answers to all of these questions by reading Loch; a great adventure about a Loch Ness monster in Lake Champlain and the kids trying to save it.
One of my favorite books as a kid. It used to scare the crap out of me. Reading it ~20 years later, it holds up well to the test of time.
I thought that this book was a moderately good book to read. It wasnt the best book I've read, but it kept reading through the pages. The reason why I liked this book is because it had a good amount of suspense in it. There was some parts that I did'nt like because I couldn't understand it. For example, I had to read some parts several times because of how the author had it written. Some pages were confusing on the storyline. But it was really good throughout the story.
