4-6Bigfoot Boy series.
Illustrated by
Faith Erin Hicks.
In this funny graphic novel, first in an anticipated series, ten-year-old Rufus stumbles upon an ancient totem that turns him into Bigfoot. A snarky new friend named Penny, a trusty squirrel advisor, and talking wolves that desperately want the totem for themselves round out the lively cast. The book ultimately lacks a clear climax, but Hicks's dynamic art in a deep-woodsy palette maintains the action.
