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.
