My Thoughts:
The Adventures of Faraday Fox is reminiscent of classic storybooks with a spunky main character and an adventurous journey with plenty of twists and turns. Faraday Fox has his world turned upside down when his kind-hearted owner returns him to nature with best intentions. But Faraday doesn’t want to be away from his beloved home and thus ensues an epic trek across America that will test his ingenuity and push him to the brink of hopelessness. But this is no fickle fox. Faraday knows what he wants and never gives up. With charming illustrations from original paintings by Shirley Adams, this is a timeless story about perserverance, persistency and love.
