Ten-year-old Mo intercepts a letter that she fears means an end to her neighborhood. When Mo's father starts talking about leaving Fox Street, Mo clings tighter: searching for the fox she swears she can hear calling her, and finding, everywhere, memories of her mother. In Springstubb's sensory-rich, action-packed narrative, Mo is an intensely real character readers will root for.
