BIG FOOT & LITTLE FOOT

Ellen Potter

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.

Ellen Potter is the acclaimed writer of the Olivia Kidney series (Philomel); Slob (Philomel, 2009); Pish Posh (Philomel, 2006); The Kneebone Boy (Feiwel and Friends, 2011); The Humming Room (Feiwel and Friends, 2012); the Otis Dooda series (Feiwel and Friends, 2013); Piper Green and the Fairy Tree series (Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2015); and has written a writer's guide for kids, Spilling Ink (Roaring Brook Press 2010). Her work has been heralded as containing “dashes of Dahl, snippets of Snicket, and heaps of Horvath” (Booklist). She and her family live in Maine.

“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...Established chapter book author Potter delivers another winner with this series opener.” --School Library Journal, on Big Foot and Little Foot #1

“Potter gives her amusing and adventurous plot just the right amount of detail to bring it to life, as do Sala's simple line drawings. This warmhearted new series, particularly suited for reluctant readers or chapter-book newbies, promises more laughs and exploits from the entertainingly paired Hugo and Boone.” -- Booklist, starred review, on Big Foot and Little Foot #1

“Delightfully playful...A charming friendship story and great setup for future books.” --Kirkus, on Big Foot and Little Foot #1
