Absolutely love these little fox stories. My children also enjoy them. I did purchase the book from Barnes and noble. The book gets passed around in the classroom for those who want to read it. The first book is also in the class library. I have some fourth graders who finished this book over a weekend and asked if there was another. Thank you for this lovely book.

It's got to be sort of daunting to write a follow-up novel to a book like Scary Stories for Young Foxes which is beloved and a surprising Newbery honoree. This book captures some of the atmospheric creepiness of the original, but also maybe doesn't need to exist? I love CMH and this book is well done, but if he'd stopped and one it would be even better.

A great sequel that has even more horrific stories and I loved the new setting. My favorite is still the first book, but I know readers will love this one too! As before there are some parts that are quite “gory” but upper elem and middle school readers will definitely enjoy it.

The stories in this middle grade book were pretty scary, so in that sense they were a success, but with a really wide range of topics compared to the first book, it was a little all over the place.

I loved Scary Stories for Young Foxes and was delighted to see this second iteration. I have the first one in my elementary school library but I don't think this one will make it to my shelves. You really have to have read the first one for this one to make sense. There are lots of references to the main characters from the first book (without any actual appearances) and so I don't know if it would stand alone well. I thought this one was creepier too-the parts that are inferred about the fox farming are probably more than my elementary students are ready for and although I enjoyed it, I don't think it's a good fit for my library.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for access to the eARC. I thought Scary Stories for Young Foxes was brilliant in that it was scarier and more gruesome than is typically "allowed" in middle grade fiction by using animal characters and storytelling to act as a buffer between the danger and the reader. But, I couldn't imagine there could be more stories to tell. Lucky for us, the author could imagine for us. The setting and situations are all new. But the suspense level is spot on with the original. Some kids will love this, but I make sure they know there is animal harm and death in case they are not ready for that. I will definitely add this to my 5th grade classroom library.

Just like Scary Stories for Young Foxes, I immensely enjoyed these as well. This was to me was so much more than the first. A truly great read for budding readers in the thriller genre (and even adults *wink*). This made me laugh with the Foxes, get scared, almost cry and certainly have great hope. Highly recommend to anyone. 💜

A good follow up to the awesome first book. Kids will really like this one for the suspense. The scary section is one of our most popular library areas.

Farm-raised Fox O-370 discovers he and the other foxes have been given the gift of a comfortable life only to be killed for their fur. Unable to convince others of the danger, he escapes and finds himself in the city where he faces dangers he once only heard about in stories. A sequel to the award-winning Scary Stories for Young Foxes, this story intertwines the previous stories with new adventures and twists and turns in a different environment. Elementary students are always asking for scary stories and this will satisfy their requests, but they may need to be forewarned about some of the gruesome and realistic scenes.

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC!
Super excited the first book is being adapted into an animated mini-series!

Pros:
- creepy middle-grade horror is always a plus
- Lots of twists and turns
- positive messages and vixen power!

Cons:
-might be too gruesome for some readers

O-370 is a fox born on a fox fur farm. He is raised hearing the old stories and wants to have his own adventure. O-370 escapes and makes his way to the city, where he meets a group of foxes and tries to survive. But pretty much anything that could go wrong goes wrong. I didn't like this one as much as the first one, but this is still an entertaining and enjoyable collection of scary stories for young foxes. I really liked how the adventures from the previous book are kept alive, but there are different versions based on the city foxes or farm foxes. I found this one much darker and more gruesome than the first. Be prepared for death, dismemberment, and tragic backstories! Okay, that was in the first one too, but I thought this was more intense. My one complaint is actually with the ARC copy. The illustrations were being weird and would sometimes show up and sometimes not. So I didn't get to enjoy all the illustrations which are a real treat and add to the creepiness of the stories. Highly recommend for middle-grade kids into horror and I hope this series is continued.

New foxes, a new setting, and new terrors. O-370 has an easy life on the fam. He enjoys it there until he discovers that the foxes are being killed for their skins. Unable to convince his fox friends, he runs off into the city where he faces dangers he had only heard about in stories. He is determined to get back to the farm to save his cousin and his friends, but does he have the instincts and strength to make it back? And if he does, will he even be able to save them?

This new book is just as good as the original and will have readers biting their nails from the first page to the last.

Continuation of Scary Stories for Young Foxes. I love how the story of Uly and Mia has become legend for a generation of foxes, and not quite in the way you would expect. Great follow up and possibly even better than the first book.
