FoxTrot follows a family of five through their bizzare everyday lives. Roger, the father, is a mid-level office worker, and his wife Andy is a successful columnist. Peter, the oldest child, is a high school senoir with a passion for sports but without the skill. Paige, the middle child, enjoys shopping but hates schoolwork. Jason, the youngest child, enjoys schoolwork and harrassing his sister.

This book is the second anthology of FoxTrot comic strips. Therefore, the characters have already been established, but the jokes and the storylines are still original. Among the notable storylines in this issue are a series of strips where Peter and his girlfriend Denise almost break up and a series where Jason and his friend Marcus have an essay writing contest. References to pop culture are interspersed throughout the book. The stories are still able to occasionally touch on serious, dramatic issues yet remain lighthearted. As an added bonus, the end of the book features a "comic book by Jason Fox" of Slug Man, a parody of Bat Man. FoxTrot fans should definitely own this book, but casual comic strip readers would also enjoy reading this collection of strips.

I haven't read Fox Trot until my friend got me hooked on it. I enjoy reading it every day in the paper and I love it when new books come out! I can sit and read them over and over and laugh just as hard as I did the first time. I only hope I will continue to see more Fox Trot around!

The Best Fox Trot Yet! The master (Bill Amend) has done it again. I love the book and have the whole collection. Jason, Quincy, Paige, Peter, Roger, and Andy are funnier than ever, that is a hard achevement

This book has all the quality's in it to make it funny. The constant battles between siblings and parents is funny and reminds us of are own family. This book is a great read.

Foxtrot is a hilarious comic that details the life of the Foxfamily. Roger is the ...father, Andy is the forever put uponmother and their three children, eldest son Peter, the wanna be jock,Paige, the image conscious daughter and their youngest son, Jason, thescheming child prodigy. There are constant battles between the familymembers, with Jason often in the middle of it. Bill Amend has crafteda supremely funny ...that we all can relate to in one way oranother

As always, I LOVE Foxtrot. The interactions of the entire family crack me up. I've gotten three of my five kids hooked on them, as well. We own all of Bill Amends books, and have already pre-ordered his newest. This book is packed with hilarious scenes from the Fox family.

excellent writing; very humorous; drawings and characters flabbergastingly funny
