Little Bigfoot, Big City by Jennifer Weiner (from a Two Thumbs Up reviewer)

Monday, Oct 23, 2017 at 6:41pm

$25.99

Alice is a New York girl who never feels like she fits in. Millie is an adventurous Yare (known to humans as Bigfoot), who longs to become a star. After Alice saved Millie’s life several months ago, they became best friends. Now, Millie is determined to audition for her favourite TV show, The Next Stage; a talent competition, to send her to stardom and away from her overprotective Yare tribe. Alice learns that she is not human and decides to discover her true past. Meanwhile, a lonely boy named Jeremy Bigelow is trying once again to prove the existence of Bigfoots to his town, even after an embarrassing attempt. This time, he has help from a mysterious government organization. Millie, Alice, and Jeremy each embark on very different, but exciting journey's across New York.

Little Bigfoot, Big City is the sequel to The Littlest Bigfoot, also by Jennifer Weiner. I liked the suspense of this book. I was always eager to find out what happened next to the characters, which were very realistic. However, it was sometimes confusing and a bit slow. I also liked the author’s descriptions, which were very detailed. I would recommend this book to those who like stories of friendship, fantasy and mystery. Overall, I would give it 3/5 stars.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes the second book in the "cheerful" (The New York Times Book Review) and "charming" (People) trilogy about friendship, furry creatures, and finding the place where you belong.

Twelve-year-old Alice Mayfair has a secret. She's not human. But who--or what--is she? While Alice goes in search of her past, her best friend Millie Maximus, a tiny Bigfoot with a big voice, prepares for her future. Together they plan to sneak off to New York City, where Millie hopes to audition for The Next Stage, the TV show she's sure will rocket her to stardom and free her from the suffocating expectations of her tribe.

Meanwhile Jeremy Bigelow's Bigfoot research has put him on the radar of a shadowy government organization led by a mysterious man named Trip Carruthers. The Bigfoots have something, a chemical so powerful and dangerous that the government will do anything to obtain it. And Jeremy is tasked with securing it once and for all.

In an unexpected twist of fate, Jeremy, Alice, and Millie find themselves facing off at a crossroads. But in order to determine where they're going, they have to first figure out where they come from--and draw the line between what is good, what is evil, and what it means to be a hero.
