Loch is by Paul Zindel. Loch is a young boy whose father is one of a team of scientists trying to find a monster in a lake in upstate New York. The question is, do they want to find it or kill it? Three kids try to save a baby plesiosaur from evil cryptozoologists and keep their families together at the same time. Zindel was a chemistry teacher and so brings scientific realism to a rather unrealistic story. This is a good science fiction pick for kids who don't like to read. It's easy, fun, and quickly engaging.
Ratings: 6th grade - 7 out of 10.
