Harry has such a big heart, omg, I literally cannot handle it. ( )
  xxMOONLITsky | Aug 30, 2023 |
'B is for Bigfoot' has wizard Harry Dresden being hired to help out Irwin Pounder, son of Dr. Helena Pounder by a Sasquatch named Strength of a River in His Shoulders, or River Shoulders for short. That makes him a scion in this series (half-human, half-supernatural being). Irwin is very intelligent, a book loving nerd. He attends Madison Academy, a private elementary and middle school in Chicago. Dr. Pounder suspects her son is being bullied. She can't pick him up on a certain day, so Harry gets to go undercover as a substitute janitor (Hi, Norm!) to keep an eye on Irwin.

Dr. Pounder is correct. Two boys are picking on Irwin. Unfortunately, Coach Pete has it out for Irwin as well. The more Harry learns about Coach Pete, the more dangerous this assignment seems. How can Harry help Irwin and stay alive?

Notes:

a. Irwin is reading Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Harry makes some good quips using the book. I also loved his snark about broccoli, which I can stand when it's raw, but I HATE it cooked.

b. According to the author's introduction, this takes place between book two, Fool Moon, and book three, Grave Peril. ( )

Quotations
'You’re . . . ,' I said. 'You’re a . . .'
'Bigfoot,' he said. “Sasquatch. Yowie. Yeti. Buncha names. Yep.'
'Kid,' I said, smiling, 'no one loves broccoli. No one even likes broccoli. All the grown-ups just agree to lie about it so that we can make kids eat it, in vengeance for what our parents did to us.'
