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. The plesiosaurs terrorize the secluded lake community, but Loch encounters a baby plesiosaur and realizes that the monsters only attack when threatened. So he risks his life-and the lives of his family and friends-to save the prehistoric creatures from destruction. 1995 Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers (ALA) 1995 Books for the Teen Age (NY Public Library)Itemize Appertaining To Books Loch (Zone Unknown #1)

I literally hated this book. No drama, no action, i couldbarely understand what was going on and what they were working with. I couldn't prnounce the equiptments names and the story was mind- boggling. Hear my loud and clear when i say: "DON'T DON'T DON'T READ THE AWFUL TERRIBLE BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!"So this book was pretty much as I expected it to be. Nothing special writing-wise, though I was glad to see no grammatical issues. The plot, character-development, and flow was a little below average. Very unrealistic at times. Dialogue lacked real emotion here and there. Sometimes I just found myself laughing out loud at the character's responses, for they were so farfetched and completely inhuman.But it was a fun book. As a lover of all things supernatural (and of the Loch Ness Monster in
Im not quite sure what to say about this one. Loch offered a lot of promises that it just wasnt capable of living up to. It tried to be gory and violent with such a limited vocabulary that it just gave it a made for TV feel. The plot had a rough feel to it that made it read more like a first draft rather than a completed novel. I kept thinking that all Loch needed was more detail, more description, more build up, more anything. With the lack of actual plot building and details, I failed to truly
Loch earned his nickname from his childhood claim that he met the Loch Ness monster. People didn't believe him. They should have. Now as a teen, near Lake Champlain, adults again are not taking him seriously. For some few, they will learn the hard way.A shallowly-written thriller. A bit gory, though tame compared to movies aimed at teens these days. My daughters after hearing the plot summary, had no interest. Four people get eaten, and a few left-over body parts cheaply heighten the ick mood.
Loch's father is working with a company to explore a local lake where reportings of a water monster have been made. As they search the lake, they find a family of plesiosaurs. Loch, his sister and a friend try to stop them from being killed. Different from the Zindel books I read back in the day but with the same spirit of adventure and growing up I always loved from them. Fun adventure story!
It took me awhile to find this book! Read this as a kid and to this day I am pissed he named the damn lochness monster 'Wee Beastie'. Also the kid is like 13 and goes hang gliding alone, wtf.
It perfectly portrays all that I support: The need to protect endangered species. It is the story of a boy who saves an innocent species who only want to defend themselves against a rich explorer who wants them dead
