Book Overview. 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. Zindel`s tale, Loch, is full of adventure and excitement. Loch, the main character, and his sister are on a mission to save the crew and the beasts. One moment they're the hunters; next they're the hunted. Loch is a suspenseful tale of adventure involving lake monsters and the effort to capture them.

They are surprisingly intelligent creatures, which may account for how they have managed to evade human beings for thousands of years.
