Big Foot and Little Foot (Big Foot and Little Foot #1)
by Ellen Potter (Author)
Hugo is a young Sasquatch who longs for adventure. Boone is young boy who longs to see a Sasquatch. When their worlds collide, they become the unlikeliest pair of best friends.
At the Academy for Curious Squidges, Hugo learns all manner of Sneaking--after all, the most important part of being a Sasquatch is staying hidden from humans. But Hugo dreams of roaming free in the Big Wide World rather than staying cooped up in caves. When he has an unexpected run-in with a young human boy, Hugo seizes the opportunity for a grand adventure.
Soon, the two team up to search high and low for mythical beasts, like Ogopogos and Snoot-Nosed Gints. Through discovering these new creatures, together, Big Foot and Little Foot explore the ins and outs of each other's very different worlds but learn that, deep down, maybe they're not so different after all.

Gr 2-4--Hugo is a curious young dreamer living in an apartment with his parents and older sister. He also happens to be a young Sasquatch (or, a "squidge," as the book affectionately labels them). Hugo lives in the Central Cave District in the North Woods, a thriving Sasquatch community complete with a school, general store, and a bakery. Here, the Sasquatch live similarly to humans, but also have a strict rule: never interact with, or be seen by, humans. Hugo accepts this, but also longs to be a part of the "Big Wide World" outside of the Central Cave District. Everything changes when he spots a human (named Boone) in the woods. Young readers will enjoy this story of an unlikely friendship and may especially like the Sasquatch characters and setting, which are impressively well developed. The gentle humor throughout is sure to entertain. Sala's charming illustrations only add to the appeal. VERDICT Established chapter book author Potter delivers another winner with this series opener.--Molly Hone, Pequannock Township Public Library, NJ
