Scary Stories for Young Foxes 
by Christian McKay Heidicker 

Flap Copy Description:

The Haunted Season Has Arrived in the Antler Wood.
NO FOX KIT IS SAFE.

Seven little foxes in the twisted Antler Wood, listening to stories much later that they should.

The first flees the teacher with dark, gooey eyes.

The second from six sisters whose tongues tell lies.

The third escapes a woman who peels foxes' skins.

The fourth slinks away from the Golgathursh's grin.

The fifth wets the ground when he smells Mr. Scratch.

The sixth turns tail when the Paw finds its match...

The seventh little fox in the wood all alone, facing down a ghost beneath branches of bone.

One little fox stays the whole night through. But can she make it to the end? Better yet, can you?

My Thoughts:

Scary Stories for Young Foxes is the perfect little tome for this Halloween season! This collection of spinetingling original stories is sure to entertain middle grade readers, but beware: They're best read by the flames of a fire, on a dark & windy night - but not for the feint of heart. I highly recommend this book to fans of spooky tales of all sorts!
