A lovely book. The main character is Adam, a young boy who is living with a foster family on a rundown farm in England. Although his foster brother is quite friendly and wants to help him, Adam doesn't want to have anything to do with his new family. He is quite rude and unfriendly. But when the two boys discover a fox cub and try to raise it in secret, they have to work together and reluctantly become friends. When the little fox is threatened by a flood, the boys face revealing it to their family- with a surprising result. This story has a bit of a mystery woven into it as well, regarding an old rich family that lives nearby, and rumors of a curse that lingers on the land.
