"YouTube has the ability to bring fame to average Joes, but in Pascal Girard's third graphic novel, that's not necessarily a good thing. Bigfoot is the story of a teenaged boy named Jimmy, whose problems are fairly typical for his age: he lives in a boring small town, his friendship with the selfish Simon is one of convenience, and he has a huge, unrequited crush on a girl who probably thinks of him as just a friend. But when a YouTube video of Jimmy dancing in his living room goes viral, his problems become much more interesting. ...... It's this seemingly effortless combination of humour and drama that makes the book's emotional punch truly resonate." Suzanne Gardner Quill & Quire
