Tom, a town boy, is horrified to learn he must spend the summer on Aunt Millie’s farm while his parents are away, and country life proves every bit as strange and uncomfortable as he’d feared. Then he discovers a rare black fox with green eyes, raising her cubs deep in the forest, and suddenly the whole summer fills with excitement – until Uncle Fred decides to hunt her down. ‘And then, this afternoon,’ Uncle Fred said to me, ‘you and I’ll go after the fox.’ Will Tom manage to save her and her family in time? One of Betsy Byars’ best-loved classics, The Midnight Fox is an atmospheric, heartfelt story. ‘I would recommend this book to anyone who loves animals and an adventure story.’ Josh, age 10, Toppsta ‘A stand-out.’ Kirkus
