School Library Journal - 07/01/2018 Gr 2–4—Hugo and Boone are back. Hugo, Boone's best friend (who also happens to be a sasquatch), attends the Academy for Curious Squidges. He is pleasantly surprised, as are all the other young sasquatch, when Boone joins their class. This move gives Boone and Hugo an opportunity to spend every day together and talk about their future as cryptozoologists, searching for and understanding monsters and other legendary creatures. One day, Boone shares some of his monster cards with the others in class and they come upon a card with a less-than-positive description of a Sasquatch. When Boone is unsuccessful at apologizing to everyone for the way humans portray sasquatch, he is left with no other choice than to run away from school. Worried about Boone, Hugo follows him out of the classroom, and the two of them then find themselves in a situation that can prove to all the other squidges that when a sasquatch and a human work together, they can solve anything. Potter has once again penned a winner with this sequel to Big Foot and Little Foot. She includes just the right amount of adventure and excitement to keep children engaged and wanting to know what happens next. Her characters are believable and enchanting. The illustrations are simple but illuminating. VERDICT A successful installment in a delightful series about friendship and embracing differences in others.—Davia Schmidt, Queens Public Library, NY - Copyright 2018 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.

Booklist - 07/01/2018 Any aspiring cryptozoologist would love to have a Sasquatch for a best friend, but Boone is luckier than most because he actually does. Gentle, hairy Hugo and Boone first met in Big Foot and Little Foot (2018), and their second adventure gets going after Hugo explores an unoccupied section of Widdershins Cavern. Guided by his new monster detector—the watchlike gadget earned by collecting Mad Marvin’s Monster Cards—he finds evidence of the Green Whistler, a dreadful creature of legend. Alarming as that is, it’s pushed from Hugo’s mind when Boone shows up at Squidge School, asking to join Hugo’s class. Funny misunderstandings ensue, but one takes a more serious turn when Hugo doesn’t stick up for Boone. At that moment, however, Hugo’s monster detector goes off, followed by a flash of green fur in the hall, and the two amateur cryptozoologists dash after it, mending their friendship as they go. This satisfying sequel is as relatable as the first, touching on childhood obsessions, worries, and thrills. A fun romp with valuable lessons in friendship and forgiveness. - Copyright 2018 Booklist.
