About this title

Synopsis

Clare must keep secrets from her own family in order to nurse an injured fox cub back to health in this heartrending story from former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo.

Clare has lived her whole life on a farm, but she's never seen a fox – until she finds a tiny, injured cub who's lost his mum. Clare cares for him herself, but has to keep him hidden from her father who thinks foxes are vermin – pests that should be shot. Can she keep the cub safe?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 7.
