The Littlest Bigfoot

Alice never seems to fit in at any of the many schools she's attended in her young life. Other girls find Alice too big and too gawky to befriend. Then Alice is sent out in the woods to a quirky experimental school and there she meets Millie. Millie is a Bigfoot who doesn't seem to fit in with her people; she's too petite and doesn't have much hair. Millie and Alice quickly become fast friends, but it must all be on the QT, as Bigfoots and humans have lots of preconceptions and fears about each other.

The Littlest Bigfoot is a gentle story of girls who don't fit in and the joy of finding friendship at last. There's lots of humor in the story, especially in the peek inside the Bigfoot community, and in the odd New Age-ish school. It's a fun read.
