Step into the shadowy forgotten wilderness populated by shaggy cryptids-unseen, unheard, and unsmelled by humankind. The misty forest conceals the big-footed, big-hearted Gogg family of six hair-covered, yarn-collecting, treehouse-dwelling Sasquatches and their growing menagerie of rescued Squatch Pets.
The Goggs have run out of space in their cramped treehouse. Every nook and cranny is overstuffed with Bob's fiber engineering equipment and Mim's fanciful filaments and medicinal remedies. Their four Squatchlings are always tripping over each other and breaking into squabbles over where to hang their hammocks and the lack of bigtoe room.
Trew, the oldest Gogg son, sets out on a mission to find them a new home. His quest leads him to the perfect place, but he encounters a dangerous dilemma. Trew and his dad put their heads together and devise a solution, with Trew taking the lead as his dad's apprentice. While the two engineers are hard at work, Trew glimpses an itty-bitty critter in peril and swings into action. Will the brave rescuer get there in time?
Trew's younger sisters, Nan and Viv, and their kid brother, Pip, have exciting escapades of their own and come across their own helpless creatures in jeopardy. How will they react when lives could be at stake?
Catch a rare glimpse into the everyday lives of this rather large hairy family and their friends, much like yours and mine, in their mysterious wildlands home. These fascinating beings navigate the joys and trials of life together in the remote backcountry where humans rarely set foot.
