Maybe a Fox by Kathi Appelt, Alison McGhee
5.0

4.5☆

Damn, this is pretty heavy for middle grade! And heartbreaking.

I didn't even know this was middle grade until I already started reading it, but decided to give it a chance. I'm glad I did.

I absolutely love foxes, so anything with foxes - I need. This was totally a cover buy, and because it's about a fox. Then I decided, I'm going to read it too.

It was pretty heavy, I had to take breaks sometimes. The story was about mourning, I knew that, but it was on every single page.

It was still a beautiful book though, and I loved reading about the fox's perspective.

The only thing that annoyed me a little was that some things were repetitive, certain information was repeated multiple times in the book. But maybe that's a middle grade thing, I don't know.
