Alfie & the Bigfoot of Bluff Creek

Alfie was alone in a new world. Little did he know that an ancient mystery would begin to solve the riddle of his own life.
Recently moved to LA from London with his dad and elder sister after the loss of his mother; he had never felt more abandoned and misunderstood. What should have been the most exciting time for a 13-year-old in the California beach city of Riviera quickly becomes a test of friendships, family, and even his sanity. With his unexpectedly found friend, the feisty Tally, and the geek that no one wants to be friends with, Milos, what starts as a school assignment fast becomes a mission, then a passion, and then a terrifying nightmare.
Alfie must not only confront the demons of the middle school corridor but also his own demons that have lain hidden with the passing of his mother, and then ultimately and most dangerously, he must face the ancient demon of the woods: Bigfoot. 
BTW: It exists!
