I really love a good fox!

I recently had the pleasure of reading the most peculiar little book. This book has also turned out to be one of my favorites of the year. The book is called "Jane, the fox and me" by Fanny Britt.

http://www.amazon.com/Jane-Fox-Me-Fanny-Britt/dp/1554983606/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386807186&sr=1-1

I was at first drawn to the cover because of the illustrations and the fact that there is a fox on the front. I love few things more than  a fox. I had forgotten about it and then heard that it has been named one of the best illustrated books of the year. After I heard that I knew that I had to read it. 

     

 The story is about an 11 year old girl that is dealing with being bullied by the girls that used to be her best friends. First of all, you have a best seller right there. Almost every young girl can relate to this happening and dealing with how harsh girls can be growing up. I personally found it very relatable and funny way. She deals with this by reading Jane Eyre and drowning her self in the world of amazing literature. Sounds like a girl after my own heart.

   

  What is very special about this book is that it is written in the form of a  graphic novel. I have never seen anything like this. The illustrations are beautiful black and white pictures until the fox enters the story. The fox, though his row is small, is a turning point in the story and makes a big difference in the girls life. 

      

     While I do not have the pleasure of owning this book yet I plan on it very soon. It touched my heart and I believe that any girl this age could enjoy this book. It takes a deep look into the life a girl being bullied and this could bring up a conversation about why this is happening and how it can be stopped. 

    As always, I hope that you have enjoyed reading this.I know I personally can not wait to own this book ( I am hoping to receive it for Christmas) I am officially on Christmas break, so if you have any book recommendations let me know in the comments section. I would love some new things to read. Also feel free to follow me on twitter at @cara_farmer. I tweet about books usually or things to do with education. I can be funny sometimes.

                                                                      Happy reading and happy holidays!
