Description: Praise for WHAT HAPPENED ON FOX STREET Autumn 2010 Kids' Indie Next List Kirkus Best Books for Children, 2010 *" Mo's voice is original, though it has tinctures of Scout and Harriet. What happened on Fox Street? Love, belief and caring." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for WHAT HAPPENED ON FOX STREET *" Mo is a character readers will root for, as her imagination, stubbornness, dislike of surprises, and curiously fierce caution in crossing the street make her seem as intensely real to the reader as her fox is to Mo." - Horn Book (starred review) Praise for WHAT HAPPENED ON FOX STREET *"Springstubb does a lovely job of mixing character, plot, and purpose in a story that contains both hardscrabble realities and moments of magic realism. But it is her ability to make her readers really feel Mo's tangle of emotions as hopes and dreams collide with worries and fears that makes this so memorable." - Booklist (starred review) Praise for WHAT HAPPENED ON FOX STREET "Tricia Springstubb creates a vivid sense of place--I felt sure I'd visited Fox Street in the flesh--and populates her story with memorable characters whose troubles are relevant to all of humanity. Crafted with original turns of phrase and a pleasing pace, What Happened on Fox Street is both engaging and affecting." - Leslie Connor, award-winning author of WAITING FOR NORMAL Springstubb's lively prose and unique combination of mundaneness and melodrama make her characters believable with a clarity unusual in books for this age and create an engaging story that challenges readers to consider their own world as carefully as Mo does. - The Horn Book Readers will laugh and cry with Mo and will want to find a friend just like her. - School Library Journal Springstubb beautifully captures the emotions of loss that come with leaving all that's loved and familiar, as well as the first stirrings of hope when it seems as if things just might work out...Readers will both be inspired and comforted by these indefatigable sisters, whose humanity brings out the very same in others. - Booklist (starred review)
