Publisher's Summary

Chicago wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden is used to mysterious clients with long hair and legs up to here. But when it turns out the long hair covers every square inch of his latest client's body, and the legs contribute to a nine-foot height, even the redoubtable detective realizes he's treading new ground. Strength of a River in His Shoulders is one of the legendary forest people, a bigfoot, and he has a problem that only Harry can solve. His son, Irwin, is a scion, the child of a supernatural creature and a human. He's a good kid, but the extraordinary strength of his magical aura has a way of attracting trouble.

In the three novellas that make up Working for Bigfoot, collected together here for the first time, listeners encounter Dresden at different points in his storied career and in Irwin's life. As a middle schooler in B Is for Bigfoot, Irwin attracts the unwelcome attention of a pair of bullying brothers who are more than they seem, and, when Harry steps in, it turns out they have a mystical guardian of their own. At a fancy private high school in I Was a Teenage Bigfoot, Harry is called in when Irwin grows ill for the first time, and it's not just a case of mono. Finally, Irwin is all grown up - and has a grown up's typical problems - as a freshman in college in Bigfoot on Campus, or would if "typical" included vampires.

New York Times best seller Jim Butcher explores the responsibilities of fatherhood and the difficulties of growing up with the elements Dresden Files fans crave - detection, adventure, humor, and magic.

JIM BUTCHER AND JAMES MASTERS WONDERFUL ALWAYS

Would you consider the audio edition of Working for Bigfoot to be better than the print version?

Yes- ONLY BECUASE OF JAMES MASTERS - HE IS DRESDEN -even when I read the books I 'hear' Masters voice as Dresden'

What was one of the most memorable moments of Working for Bigfoot?

all - I believed in Bigfoot - as I do all of Butchers 'out there' characters..

Have you listened to any of James Marsters’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Masters could read the Dictionary to me - I would listen to it all and enjoy it. One of the few around I could she that about.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

all of the above

Three interlinked Wizard Dresden stories. Great!

These are for fans of Harry Dresden. There are three stories involving Harry and Bigfoot. I really enjoyed them. They were well read. Probably not as good if you haven't read at least a few of the Dresden books.
