Hammonds Conclusion
We were not only gripped by Pennypacker’s wonderful writing style but were also incredibly moved by this story. Although sad at times, the strong bond between a young boy and his fox is very captivating. If you are an animal lover, the description of the woodland and animals are enchanting.
