This story takes place in North Canada, in the year of 1838. In this story, a young nine-year-old girl named Ellie gets a visit from her grandmother, who usually stays in England. The girl later finds a baby fox, but when she knows her dad hates foxes, she is unsure if she’ll be able to. She then gets helps from an unexpected person. Who is the person? If you want to know, you’ll have to read this book! I would definitely recommend this book to others, because it left me with a great feeling that I don’t think I can replace. The sensory imagery contributed to this, and so did the characters’ dialogues! In this book, Ellie really changed as a character. She used to be extremely resentful of her grandmother, and didn’t really like her. But as the book went on, they developed a bond, that was truly unbreakable!
