When Ben Silverstein, age 10, is sent to the rundown town of Buttonville to spend the summer with his grandfather, he's sure he's in for the most boring vacation ever. Enter Buttonville native, Pearl Petal, whose family owns the local Dollar Store. Pearl has a reputation as the town's troublemaker, but that's only because she's constantly on the search for adventure.
A series of odd happenings lead Pearl and Ben to a cement fortress at the edge of town, which used to house a button factory. To the outside world, the factory is now Dr. Woo's Worm Hospital. But as Ben and Pearl soon discover, it is actually a secret hospital for imaginary creatures, owned and operated by the mysterious veterinarian, Dr. Woo.In their first adventure, The Sasquatch Escape, hilarity abounds as Ben and Pearl set out to track and catch a runaway Big Foot with a weakness for chocolate. But can they avoid the attention of nosy neighbor Victoria Mulberry? Can they determine the proper use of the quirky Sasquatch Catching Kit? And will they ever find out where, exactly, Dr. Woo and her imaginary creatures have come from?
