5th&up, 3.5 stars 
 Alice Mayfield knows that The Experimental Center for Love and Learning (a new age style boarding school) is just the latest in a string of dumping grounds that her parents send her to so they don't have to be inconvenienced by her existence. She is resigned to the fact that she will never fit in, she will never matter, she will never find a place to belong. 
 When she meets Millie, everything changes. Now Alice has found a friend, someone who truly understands and welcomes her company rather than suffers it. Millie feels the same way because in her Yare (or Bigfoot) community, she doesn't feel like she belongs either. Alas, trouble finds the two friends when a mean girl, some malicious gossip, and a young overeager Sasquatch hunter, collide in a situation that might reveal Millie's uniqueness and result in unwelcome exposure to her whole tribe. 
 This is a sweet tale about being misunderstood and finding your place, which concludes with a rousing ending where all the camp kids band together to proudly proclaim their supposed "freakness". With a final cliffhanger that leaves Millie & Alice ready for another adventure, readers will find much to entertain them.
