Publisher's Synopsis
William's summer days are filled with endless chores, and occasional fishing trips to the lake. All this changes when a violent, supernatural storm separates him from the protection of his beloved dogs, Copper and Bumbles, placing his life gravely at risk. Now, lost and alone, he must adapt fast to a magically altered world where foxes talk and trees gossip. Along the way, he meets friendly Spotskin the Buck, magical Ironwool the Fox and terrifying Shaleback the Bear, and discovers a world where war may be imminent. To save all he loves, he must fulfill his destiny and become the legendary Werohkwari before it's too late. The author, Brent Gerity, presents an enchanting debut novel set in pre-industrialized America that captures the wonderment and magic of a bygone place and time. With Fox Rider, he conjures spirits from our own history to enrapture and entertain us. The characters stay in the mind of the reader long after the last page is turned.
