The search for Bigfoot gets juicy in this funny and touching story that´s perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo´s Flora & Ulysses and the movie Smallfoot!

Lemonade Liberty Witt´s mama always told her: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But Lem can´t possibly make lemonade out of her new life in Willow Creek, California-the Bigfoot Capital of the World-where she´s forced to live with a grandfather she´s never met after her mother passes away.

Then she meets eleven-year-old Tobin Sky, the CEO of Bigfoot Detectives Inc., who is the sole Bigfoot investigator for their small town. After he invites Lem to be his assistant for the summer, they set out on an epic adventure to capture a shot of the elusive beast on film. But along the way, Lem and Tobin end up discovering more than they ever could have imagined. And Lem realizes that maybe she can make lemonade out of her new life after all.
