    About The Midnight Fox

    Tom hates having to spend the summer on a farm . . . until he discovers the midnight fox.

    No one asked Tom how he felt about spending two months on his Aunt Millie’s farm. For a city boy, the farm holds countless terrors—stampeding baby lambs, boy-chasing chickens, and worst of all, loneliness. But everything changes when Tom sees the midnight fox. He can spend hours watching the graceful black fox in the woods. And when her life—and that of her cub—is in danger, Tom knows exactly what he must do.

    “An exceptional book.”—Booklist

    Praise

    “This book holds one of my favorite characters, city bred Tom, who is doomed to spend the summer on his uncle’s farm when his parents decide to take a long bicycle trip. Tom doesn’t like animals, and they don’t like him. But through quiet afternoons spent exploring the forest and fields, Tom becomes more aware of, and finally more comfortable, with the power and beauty of the natural world, and in the end acts to save a part of that world.”–Children’s Literature
