The Midnight Fox

Slow paced and gentle. Captures rural life in the USA at the time. Lovely to see the child’s growth and change, however not sure how many children would enjoy it today.

It's about this boy who had a city life and now had to move with his aunt and uncle in a farm. He finds a beautiful black fox and trys to protect it from hunters

I liked it because it had a lot of adventure and I would recommend it to anyone who likes adventures.

I really loved this book. It was great to read and I enjoyed it. It was fiction. I liked Tom a lot but I also really loved Peite! It interested me. I would definitely recommend it to someone else!

I liked Hazeline best. I don’t know why though. I just did. I really liked this book because it was breath-taking reading the parts when Tommy’s uncle is trying to shoot the black fox. This book could be a bit longer though. Also, it was sad that Tom never got to see the black foxes again, althogh they were safe.

It’s a very nice book I recommend it to everyone there is a boy and the midnight fox and he keeps seeing it but can’t get a good look the midnight fox comes out at midnight

Because this book is really funny because the way he talks to his friend in the beginning.I would definitely recommend it to any age

My best character is the boy because he saved the foxes from his uncle who is trying to kill the fox and baby near the end uncle fred captured the baby fox at the end the boy went home and he was living with his grandparents. I would recommend this book.

I liked this book because I liked the adventures and it was nice that Tom had this relationship with the black fox.

I liked this book because it is about an adventure and a boy who really doesn't want to go to a farm, but in the end he really enjoys it. I think it is a good lesson for life.

A city boy, Tom, is sent to spend his summer with his Aunt Millie on a farm. His chance encounter with a black fox introduces him to the delights of the countryside but danger lies ahead...

When the fox wreaks havoc in the hen house, his uncle vows to destroy Tom’s precious fox.l and her cub. He takes the horrified Tom hunting with him!

This is a novel about change, acceptance and self discovery.

Tom was one of my favourite characters because he embraced his change of circumstances but I also liked the stoical, monosyllabic uncle who was not to old to change.

Quite a dull story but good for newspaper headings. Explaons how a fox sees things quite well

I was a great book and I recommend it to people who like exciting books. It was fiction and I liked Tom, the main character best because he was the narrator of the book. It was about when Tom sees a rare black fox (his parents sent him to a farm for they were going on holiday), but Uncle Fred decides to go after the fox.

very precious time he found the fox

It is a fiction book, my favourite character was the fox who the boy's Uncle was trying to catch and kill. I probably wouldn't have chosen to read it if my school hadn't recommended it but I did finish it. I find stories about animals very sad.

A good read, the Midnight Fox was my favourite character. Yes, I would recommend this book.

I liked this book because it has amazing descriptions of the Fox and it has good use of vocabulary that make you never want to put it down. My favourite character is Tom because he loves the Fox and he doesn't want his uncle to kill it. I would recommend this to someone who loves animals.

I loved this beautiful story about a young boy finding an affinity with nature. I can't believe I haven't read it before but was drawn to the nature / habitats / environment themes to make cross-curricular links. The setting in mid 20th century America gives opportunities to discuss cultural and language differences which I know children find fascinating. From the start, the reader sympathises with Tom, the central character, who is complaining to his 'mom' that he does not want to go and stay at Aunt Millie and Uncle Fred's farm while his parents go on a cycling trip. As his experiences on the farm show him how amazing, fascinating but sometimes brutal the natural world can be, Tom discovers his strength and determination to embrace new experiences and face challenges head on.
I plan to read this to my Y4 class and feel it could be suitable throughout KS2. Just one aspect that may need sensitive handling - Tom's cousin, Hazeline, worries about being "too fat" and that this is the reason her boyfriend doesn't want to get engaged.

It's fanny, interesting and exciting. It's convincing. I liked all of the characters.

I enjoyed this book even though it was sad when the little boy died. In the beginning his aunt didn't believe him.

A young boy called Tom hates farms but stays at one with his aunt and uncle. When he discovered a rare midnight fox his mind starts to change. Uncle Fred one day goes hunting after the fox because Aunt Millie's turkey and eggs had started to go missing.

The book is about a young boy who hated farms had stayed in a farm with his aunt and uncle whilst his parents a on a cycling tour around Europe.

I loved it.
