A review by jwinchell
Maybe a Fox by Alison McGhee, Kathi Appelt

3.0

The structure of this gently rendered novel felt like a stretched out coil--each successive chapter loops back to pick up the story a few or more moments before the end moment of the prior chapter. But each chapter changes perspective (Sylvie, Julies, Sam, Senna the fox) and this is not greatly successful, IMHO. I was generally underwhelmed by the entire story even though it was lovely and gentle and sweetly ambitious. BUT, I will not hesitate to suggest this to young readers who like animals, realistic fiction, and a bit of adventure.
