Perfect for 6th graders on the edge of childhood or for teachers looking for a good cry, this heartbreakingly beautiful story grips your heart and does not let go.

Beautiful story about the bond between a boy and his fox. Lots of mature themes - death, war, abuse - that I would suggest reading along with your kids if they are younger than 10.

I'm doing an author study in Sandy's 4th grade class on Sara Pennypacker, so reading everything I can by this author in preparation.

This isn't what I thought it was going to be--I was picturing a One and Only Ivan or something, but with a fox. It's a very thoughtful book--not one I'd give to every kid, but one I think will stick with the right kid.
