Synopsis

From Christian McKay Heidicker, author of the Thieves of Weirdwood trilogy, comes the heart-stopping companion to the 2020 Newbery Honor recipient Scary Stories for Young Foxes, chronicling the adventures of three fox kits desperate to survive the terrors of a frightening new world. Fox kit O-370 hungers for a life of adventure, like those lived long ago by Mia and Uly. But on the Farm, foxes know only the safety of their wire dens and the promise of eternal happiness in the White Barn. Or so they’re told. When O-370 gets free of his cage, he witnesses the gruesome reality awaiting all the Farm’s foxes and narrowly escapes with his life. In a nearby suburb, young Cozy and her skulk are facing an unknown danger, one that hunts foxes. Forced to flee their den, they travel to a terrifying new world: the City. That’s where they encounter O-370, and where they’ll need to fight for their lives against mad hounds, killer robots, and the most dangerous of all creatures: humans. Award-winning author Christian McKay Heidicker once again surprises, delights, and terrifies with eight interconnected stories inspired by classic and modern horror tropes. Prepare to be scared. "A worthy follow-up, with a triumphant end … Heidicker’s writing continues to shine."—Kirkus Reviews

Goodreads review by Josiah on October 14, 2024

I gather that Christian McKay Heidicker was more than a little surprised when Scary Stories for Young Foxes was awarded a 2020 Newbery Honor, but the book's innovation and wisdom were deserving. Two years afterward came The City; would the followup be as good? Three kit foxes in the Antler Wood—an a......more
