About the Book
In Shadow Fox, Shadow the plucky fox and a girl named Bee might be the only ones who can save a secret magical island in the Great Lakes.
Shadow the fox does not trust humans. Well, except for Nan, who feeds her chunks of fish behind a lakeside motel every night. When Nan goes missing, a man from the mysterious Whistlenorth Island comes ashore to seek the aid of Nan’s granddaughter, Bee, whom he thinks is destined not only to help Nan, but also to save Whistlenorth from the greedy and destructive Night Islanders. The plans go topsy-turvy when it becomes obvious that Bee does not have the magic powers of a chosen one—but Shadow does! Can a fox really rescue an island of people? As Shadow grudgingly comes to trust her new human companions, she and Bee develop a mystical bond, a special connection between human and animal that might be the key to driving the Night Islanders from Whistlenorth for good. This enchanting adventure is narrated by Shadow herself, whose mind is unflinchingly “fox” and whose spirit is charming and bold.
My Take on the Book
Shadow and Bee is a unique, heartwarming adventure where a clever fox and a determined girl team up to save a magical island in the Great Lakes. The story, narrated by Shadow the fox, brings a fresh and witty perspective as she learns to trust humans, reluctantly bonding with Bee in the process.
The book mixes nature’s beauty with a bit of fantasy, as Shadow and Bee work together to fend off the greedy Night Islanders. It’s a fun twist on the classic "chosen one" story—turns out, it’s the fox with the magic powers, not the human!
Filled with humor and a bit of attitude from our prickly narrator, it’s a cool mix of animal magic and a subtle environmental message. If you love tales about friendship, trust, and a sprinkle of woodland magic, this one's for you!
