About This Book

Crunching leaves and sharp scents fill the cool forest air as four little fox kits—Bold, Friendly, Charmer, and Dreamer—take their first wobbly steps. The animals of Farthing Wood watch over them, but as the seasons change, challenges creep closer, testing their courage and the strength of their community. What will happen when old friendships are tested by new boundaries?
