Fox 8 by George Saunders
5.0
This was beautiful. Everyone, please go read this!
George Saunders tackles an upsetting and important topic, but has managed to make it light-hearted and approachable. I loved that the fox tried to see the beauty of life even after experiencing such terrible things. The writing is incredibly funny and I love the fox narrator. As someone with dyslexia, it was also amusing to see what it must be like for other people to read my messages (perhaps I'm really a fox in disguise)!
I feel that this is such an important story, especially for this current period. To see the effects of habitat destruction and of needless violence towards animals. Not everyone in the story has a happy ending but Fox 8 tells us what we can all do in order to see a happy ending for all.
The illustrations were also charming!
