"The day I returned to Templeton steeped in disgrace, the fifty-foot corpse of a monster surfaced in Lake Glimmerglass." So begins The Monsters of Templeton, a novel spanning two centuries: part a contemporary story of a girl's search for her father, part historical novel, and part ghost story. In the wake of a disastrous love affair with her older, married archaeology professor at Stanford, brilliant Wilhelmina Cooper arrives back at the doorstep of her hippie mother-turned-born-again-Christian's house in Templeton, NY, a storybook town her ancestors founded that sits on the shores of Lake Glimmerglass. Upon her arrival, a prehistoric monster surfaces in the lake bringing a feeding frenzy to the quiet town, and Willie learns she has a mystery father her mother kept secret Willie's entire life. The beautiful, broody Willie is told that the key to her biological father's identity lies somewhere in her family's history, so she buries herself in the research of her twisted family tree and finds more than she bargained for as a chorus of voices from the town's past -- some sinister, all fascinating -- rise up around her to tell their side of the story. In the end, dark secrets come to light, past and present day are blurred, and old mysteries are finally put to rest. The Monsters of Templeton is a fresh, virtuoso performance that has placed Lauren Groff among the best writers of today.

It's not indestructible.
Color: Blue
Buyers beware, I have a jack russell, and I just got this item ten minutes ago, my dog ripped it up.It is not indestructible, it is a waste of money. My dog is very aggressive with his toys. So back to the drawing board...So I can't return this item because, it's ripped up and they're not gonna give me my money back... So do not buy this toy.

P.O.S.
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Toy is not as advertised. It is NOT for aggressive chewers. It is NOT indestructible. It is NOT for medium to large dogs. I knew the moment I opened it that it would be demolished by my 24 pound Miniature Blue Heeler. And here we are 5 minutes after giving it to him, picking up pieces of cotton off of the floor. This should be marketed as a kids stuffed animal. In no way shape or form is this a chew toy unless you have an aging toothless two pound Chihuahua. It would have taken longer for my dog to chew up the $10 dollar bill I gave for this. 💩

Great for aggressive chewers
Color: Grey
Tuff toy, my yorkie has been trying to tare squeaker out for about 3 days, he works on the fur part but so far it stands up to his chewing, I have gone thru 3 other toys this week so glad thi one works! It lasted 8 days. They need to make whole toy out of material and put fur on top of the tuff material. Once he found out wetting the fur softens it he pulled the seam apart.

Does not stand up to aggressive chewers
Color: Grey
Supposed to be for heavy chewers. My dog destroyed this toy literally in less than 15 minutes. Tore the tail which I sewed back together and then she tore off the nose and pulled out stuffing. Don't know how they tested this. She is only 6 months old and it didn't stand up to her play. Do not recommend if you have an aggressive chewer.

Won't last a day
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My 50 lb. Pitt bull destroyed this chew toy in 15 minutes. One week later. I'm changing my rating from a one to a five. My girl spent up until now ripping it apart and pulling the stuffing and squeaker out. She had so much fun that I bought her another one. When I took it out of the box for her, she was so happy, she immediately tried to tear it apart.
