When eleven-year-old Mo's mother dies in an accident and Mo's devastated father deals with the loss by moving the family to a new town and starting a new life as the owner of a sports bar, Mo must leave her much loved neighborhood on Fox Street to live in an apartment above the "cursed" Corky's Tavern.
The setting was a major part of Mo Wren since the family moved from Fox Street to a street with "no name". Springstubb makes the setting come alive by not only describing the details but having characters get lost, snowbound, and travel around the city.
