Hunting The Fox: The Fox and The Hound Retold

By S.L. Seib

Minnesota Territory, 1850s.
Seven-year-old Cooper has already lost everything-his parents, his home, and any hope of a normal childhood. But when he meets Standing Fox, a Sioux boy his own age, Cooper discovers a new world: one of belonging, respect, and harmony with a land that demands both resilience and reverence.

Named White Hound by the tribe for his sharp instincts and unwavering loyalty, Cooper grows into two identities-one shaped by his distrustful uncle, and one shaped by the people who treat him as kin.

Years later, after returning from the gold fields, worn and haunted, Cooper finds his world changed. Tension between settlers and the Sioux has ignited into violence. Suspicion replaces friendship. Fear replaces trust. And hatred burns hotter than any prairie fire.

When a ruthless mob advances on the tribe that once welcomed him, Cooper must make a choice that will shatter his life forever.
One that will test the limits of loyalty, love, and the human spirit.

Inspired by true events and steeped in cultural and historical detail, Hunting the Fox is a gripping, emotional tale of identity, injustice, and the unbreakable bond between two boys caught on opposite sides of history.
