**STARRED REVIEW**
"Potter gives her amusing and adventurous plot just the right
amount of detail to bring it to life, as do Sala’s simple line
drawings. This warmhearted new series, particularly suited for
reluctant readers or chapter-book newbies, promises more laughs and
exploits from the entertainingly paired Hugo and Boone."
*Booklist*
Young readers will enjoy this story of an unlikely friendship and
may especially like the Sasquatch characters and setting, which are
impressively well developed. The gentle humor throughout is sure to
entertain. Sala’s charming illustrations only add to the appeal.
VERDICT Established chapter book author Potter delivers another
winner with this series opener.
*School Library Journal*
Potter keeps the third-person narrative tightly focused on Hugo's
perspective, and the details she uses to flesh out the Sasquatch
world are delightfully playful . . . A charming friendship story
and great setup for future books.
*Kirkus Reviews*
The easy-to-follow plot is engaging, humorous, and sweet.
*School Library Connection*
