"While the plot, such as
it is, is engaging, the real star here is the luminous artwork, which features
vivid, realistic animals in alarming peril. The astonishing destruction is both
chaotic and gorgeous." -- Booklist
Second in the celebrated
series of wildlife graphic novels, author Frederic Brremaud and illustrator
Federico Bertolucci turn their lens on a northeastern woodland setting to follow
a single fox through its daily journey through the trees and along the seafront.
Only this is not just another day -- a spectacular volcanic eruption throws the
area into chaos, sending creatures of all kinds scurrying for safety. But the
intrepid little fox surprising decides to run into the danger instead of away!
What could send this tiny hunter towards the
danger?
This all-ages title will appeal
to children and adults for its breathtaking illustration and gripping adventure
drama.
Wow! Simply stunning. I was mesmerised watching this little fox as seemly the world was ending around it. A volcano is irrupting and all the animals are going berserk. Most of the animals are trying to escape the volcano, while some use the fleeing herds to their advantage for an easy meal. The little fox is all the time battling its way towards the volcano. And I was thinking, what is he doing? Well the little fox I assumed was male, is female and she was on a mission to save her pup, awwww. She manages to save her pup and it's beautiful. Not one word of text is used to tell the story. But the detailed and dramatic illustrations over the eighty pages tells the story perfectly. Five Stars. I need to get myself a hardback copy of this. Go mummy fox go!
