This review is from: Run With the Wind (Hardcover)
This is a fun book about a group of foxes trying to overcome their natural instincts to fight each other, and instead work together to overcome much more powerful enemies while searching new lands for the "secret of survival".

The characters are very likeable, and I was especially drawn to the leader of the group, Old Sage Brush, who drops many inspirational quotes along the way to teach the rest of the foxes how to use their cunning instead of relying on brute strength, which would do little against foes like man and hunting dogs. In addition to him, there are three vixens and three males in the group, one of which has a handicap that he manages to overcome by learning to use his mind to solve problems that his strength cannot.

I found the talks of the "secret of survival" a bit repetitive, though a younger reader would most likely not notice them. There really isn't a tangible answer for this at the end of the book, implying that the secret was simply learning how to work together and use mind over matter, and even that fell a little flat considering that the group splits up at the end and the individuals seem to return to the "normal" life of a wild fox.

For young readers, this will most likely be a great book full of little inspirations about how to look at challenges at life. For older readers, it's a fun little rainy day read.
