Shadow Fox

A beautiful story of loss and belonging is told through the eyes of a wild, affectionate, prickly fox who loves collecting shoes and possesses a touch of magic. The tale follows Bee, whose family runs a lakeside inn that welcomes weary travellers. When Nan goes missing—possibly drowned—Bee senses there’s more to the mystery, and so does Shadow, the fox whose salmon supply has dried up. Together, they embark on an adventure to find Nan, uncover the fate of the secret islands on the Great Lake, and discover how far magical powers can carry them. Written by the bestselling author of I, Cosmo, this 240-page paperback from Nosy Crow Ltd invites readers into a vivid, magical quest.

Bee’s world is rich with warmth and danger, blending everyday life at the inn with a voyage into hidden islands and elusive secrets. The story weaves themes of family, trust, and resilience as the fox and child navigate uncertain waters and uncover what lies beneath the lake’s quiet surface.
