Hugo is a young Sasquatch who longs for adventure. Boone is young boy
who longs to see a Sasquatch. When their worlds collide, they become the
unlikeliest pair of best friends.
At the Academy for Curious Squidges, Hugo learns all manner of
Sneaking--after all, the most important part of being a Sasquatch is
staying hidden from humans. But Hugo dreams of roaming free in the Big
Wide World rather than staying cooped up in caves. When he has an
unexpected run-in with a young human boy, Hugo seizes the opportunity
for a grand adventure. Soon, the two team up to search high and low for
mythical beasts, like Ogopogos and Snoot-Nosed Gints. Through
discovering these new creatures, together, Big Foot and Little Foot
explore the ins and outs of each other's very different worlds but learn
that, deep down, maybe they're not so different after all.
