The scariest children’s story I’ve ever read. A great way for children to learn how to deal with their fears.

WOW! What a CRAZY adventure that was. So many twists, turns! A great mix of horror, thrill, adventure, love, and great themes of loyalty, growing up, and facing your fears!

Scary Stories for Young Foxes is creepy, but cute.
It threw me off when Beatrix Potter suddenly appeared, but

Spoiler

now that I think about it, it's funny to make Potter a slightly psychotic old lady who tortures animals. I mean, her own stories are kind of dark, so it makes sense.

I don't have anything negative to say about this book lol

 I don’t normally like middle grade but it was a reading challenge and apparently this month’s theme is horror for me so I picked this book up. I really enjoyed this! The characters were so cute and you just had to root for them. I loved the way this was told too and how everything tied together at the end. It was just so cute and so fun and also a little bit scary. I did also cry a little at the end it was just so sweet and I really liked it. This isn’t really my genre though and I definitely liked the beginning and end more than the middle bit. Overall pretty good though!

This book is made for older kids, but I would read it before you give it to your kids to be sure they're ok with all the dark themes covered in this book. It was good, a mix of stories and I liked the writing.

I think the concept and story is pretty good, I just wish the actual writing was less juvenile, it was still a nice light read
