    About this audiobook

    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes a “cheerful” (The New York Times Book Review) and “charming” (People) tale of friendship, furry creatures, and finding the place where you belong.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 4/5
      Very cute book... would be good for young adult or preteen audiences too!
    • 4/5
      12-year-old Alice has never fit in. Her wealthy parents have tried sending her to many different types of schools, but they always end in disaster. This year, she is sent to the somewhat hippie-commune like "Experimental Center for Love and Learning." While it doesn't exactly start off great... it's far less awful than anywhere else Alice has been.Millie, the smallest Yare in her tribe (that's "bigfoot" to us no-furs) also has never fit in well. She has always had an unhealthy interest in humans and their activities, particularly singing, and television. Naturally, when Alice and Millie eventually meet, the two outcasts become fast friends.Jeremy, who lives in a nearby town, has also never fit in. His only real interest is in Bigfoot hunting. He meets the similarly inclined girl, Jo, and they think they may be onto something going on near the town of Standish... especially near that weird "school," the Experimental Center for Love and Learning.A nice, mostly sweet story, about two outcasts becoming close friends. There is no supernatural or fantasy feel to the book, in spite of Millie and her tribe of Yare. The reader will relate to them just as well as to the human characters. The book wraps up nicely, but with a few big fingers pointing to the sequel.
    • 2/5
      A slightly scattered plot that maybe needed more chapters from Jeremy's POV to really do what it needed to do, occasionally clunky prose, and far too many good intentions pushing it toward preachiness added up to a swing and a miss for this first middle-grade effort from Weiner. On the plus side, Alice and Millie were wonderful characters and their friendship was sweet and touching. Plus, Bigfoots! But, overall, the book just didn't quite work for me.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book. I recommend it for children and adults.
    • 4/5
      I can understand why someone might not care that much for this one – the ending's a bit sappy and the lead-up to a sequel is a bit pushy – but I'll still, and perhaps a bit ungenerously, give it 3½*** for the quite good character of Alice and the excellent character of the spunky Millie.
    • 4/5
      12 yr. old Alice has spent most of her school years being shipped from school to school. With her wild curly hair and larger than typical body, she is an outcast and butt of the jokes wherever she goes. When her parents finally send her to the Experimental Center for Love and Learning, she thinks it will be more of the same and worse; until she rescues Millie from the lake. Millie is a yare, her tribe's word for bigfoot, only Millie is an outcast too, as she is very small, has silver fur instead of brown and an intense interest in "no-furs," which are forbidden for the safety of the tribe.The two girls meet in secrecy every night with no knowledge that a very average boy named Jeremy and a disabled girl named Jo are trying very hard to prove the existence of Bigfoots in the area. Is there a place of true safety and belonging for everyone? This 289 page book would be a great discussion title for grades 4-6.
