The Foxes of London

By M.S. Duirham

A hilarious illustrated middle grade caper about a gang of chicken thieves terrorizing the city of London and the fox kit who just might bring them to justice, perfect for fans of The Bad Guys and Zootopia.

"A fun, funny, and very foxy tale about whether it's better to blend in or stand out. I loved it " -- Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library

Eleven-year-old fox kit Henry loves the theater and wants nothing more than to become an actor. But according to Henry's father Arbutus, all foxes--at least the respectable ones who have moved from the forest into London--should aspire to become accountants. That's what Arbutus did. And that's what he expects Henry to do one day, too.

When the city is terrorized by an outbreak of chicken thefts, conspiracy theories swirl and authorities immediately suspect a skulk of foxes is responsible for the crime. After the police catch Henry in the wrong place at the wrong time, he finds himself swept up in a thrilling fight to clear his name and bring the real culprits to justice--all while trying to prove to his father that there is no one right way to be a fox.

Black-and-white illustrations by Forrest Burdett bring Henry's London to life in this unforgettable adventure.
