The Ninth Fox - Fox and Fairies #1
Formats: Paperback
Ages: 8-11
Tiny Fox. Big Heart. Perilous Quest.
Born last of her litter, the Ninth Fox is impossibly small, and—possibly cursed. To break the curse, there is a quest: travel to a faraway land and save a fairy princess from a terrible monster. It’s a journey no fox should attempt alone, but her family is suffering and she knows of no other way to break the curse.
The Ninth Fox journeys far from her Montréal home to an island of tall trees where there are no other foxes. She meets a dog named Luna, a fairy named Frank—not a princess, and she keeps crossing paths with the troublesome Steves.
Will determination and bravery (and a lot of running and hiding) be enough for a tiny fox to complete her quest?

The Ninth Fox is a heartwarming middle-grade adventure that introduces readers to a plucky, lovable fox they can’t help but root for until the very last page. Written with clarity, humour, and emotional insight, the novel speaks directly to upper–elementary and middle-grade readers navigating questions of belonging, confidence, and courage.
My daughter loved reading this book and couldn’t put it down. It was engaging with lovable characters.
