Littlest Bigfoot series.
In this sequel to The Littlest Bigfoot, twelve-year-old Alice searches for clues to her true, non-human identity; her Bigfoot friend Millie pursues her dreams of stardom in the "No-Fur" world; and Bigfoot-hunter Jeremy becomes reluctantly involved with a shady government agency. Although the revelation at the end feels particularly far-fetched, the characters and their struggles ring true, and action, suspense, and plot twists abound.

In alternating chapters, Weiner tells the stories of three misfit children: Alice, a large, lonely girl with wild hair and distant parents; Millie, a Yare ("what humans called Bigfoots") child intent on leaving her overbearing tribe; and Jeremy, a boy obsessed with finding a Bigfoot. After careful character development, the book's cliffhanger ending feels rushed, but readers will care about these kids.
