What’s the book about?
The clans have been enemies for as long as anyone can remember.
The Bigfoots say it started when a Yeti threw a snowball across the rift. The Yetis say it started when a Bigfoot threw some fruit across the rift. Who could say for sure?
One night, a young Bigfoot and Yeti decide to find the end of the rift so they can finish the feud – once and for all.
Things are about to get hairy …

- And when we say hairy, we mean super hairy! Between the Bigfoot’s big feet and the Yeti’s snowy fur, things are going to get a bit out of control. What could possibly go wrong when two gigantic creatures from rival clans meet in the middle of a snowy rift? Spoiler alert: lots of funny, wild messes. Get ready for mishaps, misunderstandings, and a whole lot of comedic chaos!
