Illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes a "cheerful" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>) and "charming" (<i>People</i>) tale of friendship, furry creatures, and finding the place where you belong.</b> <p/>Alice Mayfair, twelve years old, slips through the world unseen and unnoticed. Ignored by her family and shipped off to her eighth boarding school, Alice would like a friend. And when she rescues Millie Maximus from drowning in a lake one day, she finds one. <p/>But Millie is a Bigfoot, part of a clan who dwells deep in the woods. Most Bigfoots believe that people--NoFurs, as they call them--are dangerous, yet Millie is fascinated with the No-Fur world. She is convinced that humans will appreciate all the things about her that her Bigfoot tribe does not: her fearless nature, her lovely singing voice, and her desire to be a star. <p/>Alice swears to protect Millie's secret. But a league of Bigfoot hunters is on their trail, led by a lonely kid named Jeremy. And in order to survive, Alice and Millie have to put their trust in each other--and have faith in themselves--above all else.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A charming story about finding a safe place to let your freak flag fly."-- "People"<br><br>"A heartwarming tale about friendship and belonging that will resonate with those young readers who have ever struggled to fit in or find their place in the world.<i>"</i> <p/> -- "School Library Journal"<br><br>"Bestselling adult author Weiner (<i>In Her Shoes</i>) makes a winning children's book debut with this witty story of outcasts coming together, first in a trilogy. . . .Well-drawn characters, high comedy, and an open-ended finale will leave readers eager for the next installment." <p/> -- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"Bigfoot believers and non-believers alike will enjoy this story that focuses on the importance of friendship and acceptance amidst bullying, loneliness, and a lack of self-confidence." <p/> -- "School Library Connection"<br><br>"Plenty of youngsters--legendary creatures or not--will relate to this smartly crafted tale of appreciating your own quirks."-- "Bulletin of the Center of Children's Books"<br><br>"Weiner writes an engaging tale that helps children to understand both bullying and the difficulties faced by people who in some way deviate from the norm. . . .
