This atmospheric and heartfelt story is one of Betsy Byars' best-loved classics. 'And then, this afternoon,' Uncle Fred said to me, 'you and I'll go after the fox.' Tom, a town boy, is horrified when his parents tell him he has to stay on Aunt Millie's farm while they are away. He finds country life every bit as strange and uncomfortable as he feared. But soon, he discovers a rare black fox with green eyes, living with her cubs in the forest. Suddenly, the aummer is full of excitement. That is, until Uncle Fred decides to go after the fox - will Tom save her and her family in time?
One of the best books I have read in a long time. It has so many special moments. I followed Tom and the Midnight Fox all through the summer. I was so happy he saved her in the end.
