Summary: Fox Street means everything to Mo Wren, who is nearly eleven, and so she is very upset when a land developer offers to buy her father's house, especially since she has not yet found the fox she is sure lives in the nearby ravine.

Although enjoyable, I felt the story was predictable and repetitive. I couldn't picture Mo as a 10 year old. I liked how the neighbors stepped in when the father checked out though. I felt it was realistic how much a single parent relies on a child, not realizing they are NOT another adult.
