What Happened on Fox Street?


Did you like "Waiting for Normal", "The Higher Power of Lucky" or "Because of Winn Dixie"?
If you did then here is another you will love.

"What Happened on Fox Street" by Tricia Springstubb is a story that is about 11 year old Mo Wren, a young girl who has lived on Fox Street surrounded by the same group of neighbours her whole life. It is a wonderful dead-end street where she and her younger sister, who is referred to as The Wild Child, have felt secure and cared for, especially after the death of their mother. But this summer things are changing. Mo' s best friend has come to visit her grandmother who lives across the street and something is missing in their relationship. But even more, Mo's dad is thinking about selling their house and moving away. Mo's worries and her way of dealing with them are beautifully chronicled. And yes, there is a fox.
