Paul's, Jack's, and Hector's fathers were friends in college. The dads decide to take the boys on a camping trip to Bear Falls, where there are rumors of a Sasquatch on the loose. In spite of numerous mishaps, the boys manage to bond during their wilderness adventures. Plenty of action and gross-out humor should entertain readers of this otherwise predictable story.

At the age of eight, Addie, daughter of the governor of Virginia, disappeared. Eight years later, Governor Webster is now President Webster, and a young woman claiming to be Addie appears. Told from many alternating perspectives (teen and adult), this novel is a twisty and fast-paced political thriller likely to pull in teenage fans of House of Cards and Scandal.
