Tom is horrified when his parents tell him he is to stay on Aunt Millie's farm while they are away on a trip.

She has written almost a coming-of-age book in terms of the way in which Tom alters from beginning to end. Why not use this story alongside our British Wildlife Reading Comprehension to encourage your pupils to learn more about the wildlife on their doorsteps. Fascinated, watching for the fox keeps him occupied the entire summer, as it just gets hotter and hotter, his 'aunt' gets crankier due to the heat, and their daughter Hazeline has her ups and downs with her fiance.

It has been finve years, but when I close my eyes I am once again y the creek watching the black fox come leaping over the green, green grass. Home to William Golding, Sylvia Plath, Kazuo Ishiguro, Sally Rooney, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Max Porter, Ingrid Persaud, Anna Burns and Rachel Cusk, among many others, Faber is proud to publish some of the greatest novelists from the early twentieth century to today. Without this awful treatment of animals and the way Hazeline's engagement was broken off because it was in common agreement she need to lose a stone or more, this would have been a 4:or 5 star. Among them are the Newbery Medal in 1971 for her novel The Summer of the Swans, the American Book Award in 1981 for The Night Swimmers, The Edgar (for the best mystery for young people) in 1992 for Wanted…Mud Blossom.

The 1970s and '80s were arguably the prime of Betsy Byars's career, but she produced many good books outside of that period, including The Midnight Fox in 1968. Then it seems to me that I can hear, as plainly as I heard it that August night, above the rain, beyond the years, the high, clear bark of the midnight fox.The bulk of a fox’s diet is made up of meat protein, so the best things to feed your local foxes are cooked or raw meat, or tinned dog food.

They don't ask him to do many chores, so Tom has a surplus of time to explore the woods, and he's glad of that when he crosses paths with the black fox. In a couple of scenes for the fans, Fox is seen beating up and getting answers from a pimp played by her real-life off-screen partner Colson Baker (they met on set). The pack even goes a step further by offering a selection of resources and activities at the end of the pack to support teachers in the classroom.

This book is fantastic if someone is looking for a book that will cheer them up on a bad day or just comfort them its this book because it just shows how each character feels and it shows so much love to an animal and people that it will make you want to hug someone. To this day, the cycling tours still happen in Europe but the amazing experiences the main character Tom has on the farm will be something few kids will experience now.
