Description
Tiny Fox. Big Heart. Perilous Quest.
Born last of her litter, the Ninth Fox is impossibly small, and—possibly cursed. To break the curse, there is a quest: travel to a faraway land and save a fairy princess from a terrible monster. It’s a journey no fox should attempt alone, but her family is suffering and she knows of no other way to break the curse.
The Ninth Fox journeys far from her Montréal home to an island of tall trees where there are no other foxes. She meets a dog named Luna, a fairy named Frank—not a princess, and she keeps crossing paths with the troublesome Steves.
Will determination and bravery (and a lot of running and hiding) be enough for a tiny fox to complete her quest?
Advance Praise
"The Ninth Fox is a heartwarming middle-grade adventure that introduces readers to a plucky, lovable fox they can't help but root for until the very last page." ―CANREADS

This is a cute and cozy book I read with my 9 year old daughter.
I personally loved the story, emotions, magic, journey, and overall message of this story. I am excited to move on there next book with my daughter!
I was pulled in from the beginning with the legend of the fox and what each of their purposes are. I also loved the emphasis on names and how our names can shade us mentally and physically.
I did notice that some of the story was heavy for my daughter as it deals with a baby fox who is not only neglected by her sibling and mother, but overall receives very little love and attention from the majority of her family.
Although some parts can be tender for young readers, I found it to open up lots of doors to discuss topics that are good for children to consider and discuss in a loving environment.
I very much enjoyed the story and the character growth and found family!
