Book Overview

Fox Street was a dead end. In Mo Wren's opinion, this was only one of many wonderful, distinguishing things about it.

Mo lives on Fox Street with her dad and little sister, the Wild Child. Their house is in the middle of the block--right where a heart would be, if the street were a person. Fox Street has everything: a piano player, a fix-it man, the city's best burrito makers, a woman who cuts Mo's hair just right, not to mention a certain boy who wants to teach her how to skateboard. There's even a mean, spooky old lady, if ringing doorbells and running away, or leaving dead mice in mailboxes, is your idea of fun. Summers are Mo's favorite time, because her best friend, Mercedes, comes to stay.

Most important, though, Fox Street is where all Mo's memories of her mother live. The idea of anything changing on Fox Street is unimaginable--until it isn't.

This is the story of one unforgettable summer--a summer of alarming letters, mysterious errands, and surprising revelations--and how a tuft of bright red fur gives Mo the courage she needs.

Good Things on Fox Street

I finished What Happened on Fox Street just in time to wrap it up for a niece's birthday...my eyes still stinging a little from the touching ending. Among all the interesting characters, I most loved Dottie, the wild little sister (being a little sister myself). She's almost Caliban-like, but without the truly evil streak; I've never run across a little girl like her in a book before, and she was fully believable. Fox Street treats adult themes of loss and change with appropriate directness and subtlety at the same time. It has an admirably diverse cast of characters -- old and young, black and white. This would be a good choice for reading aloud to kids, say, eight and above, and for an adult/child book discussion group.
