Narrative As Books Working for Bigfoot (The Dresden Files #11.8)
"B is for Bigfoot" takes place between Fool Moon and Grave Peril."I Was a Teenage Bigfoot" takes place circa Deadbeat.
"Bigfoot on Campus" takes place between Turn Coat and Changes.
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 for the first time here, readers 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 have if typical included vampires.

This is a fun little novella/short story collection set in the Dresdenverse. Three linked short stories are included here, taking place at varying times throughout Harry's history. "B is for Bigfoot" takes place after Fool Moon, "I Was a Teenage Bigfoot" occurs after Dead Beat, and "Bigfoot on Campus" is sandwiched between Turn Coat and Changes, so the Harry in this collection is the Harry from Before, still working as a wizard PI. All in all, I found this book to be a fun, light read. I'm notA nice collection of three short stories/novellas in the Harry Dresden series. Each was published previously in separate collections but its nice to have them all together here in one group because they form a nice connected trio. In each story, a Sasquatch known as River Shoulders hires Harry to protect his son who is half Sasquatch and living his life in normal human society. The son, Irwin, grows through the three stories from grade schooler through high school and on in to college. I enjoyed
*4.5 stars*I missed this series so badly that I almost cried when I heard the audiobook start up. There is absolutely nothing like listening to this series. I'm obsessed with The Dresden Files, and this book was another example of why this series is so great. It just made me hungry for more. Just take my money already.
" Working for Bigfoot " is a collection of three previously released Harry Dresden short stories, featuring Harry, his Bigfoot client Strength of a River in His Shoulders, as well as River's son, Irwin. The story spans in few years from when Irwin is still around 8-9 years old, to Irwin at 14 years old, and later when Irwin is in college. In each case, River calls Harry to help his son, since there is trouble looming in, from bullying, to black magic, to vampire girlfriend...Oh, how I missed
Yes yes yes yes. Just the shot of Desden that I needed. Marsden's voice is fantastic once again. This is classic Harry and his involvement on some jobs for the BigFoot named Rivershoulders. Everytime I hear Marsden's words begin to share Harry's thoughts it is like I can relax and enjoy my good friend sharing about some of his weekend adventures.
3.5 Three fun stories of Harry Working for Bigfoot protecting his son over the years. Great characters, sweet stories and I needed more. Love Harry
Fun collection of Dresden short stories. I did the audio version and, as always, the narration by James Marsters adds loads to the enjoyment.
