Searching for the Loch Ness Monster is a story about Skye and Ross, who go on vacation to Scotland with their parents. The kids think they are too old to search for an ancient sea serpent in the deep, dark waters of Loch Ness. But as they drive the length of the large lake, questions begin to emerge, and their parents decide to take an informative boat ride with a local expert. As the family listens to her tell about Loch Ness and why many people believe the legend to be true, the kids begin to ask questions, not realizing that they are becoming interested. The book incorporates many facts about the lake and its legend.
