Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

As is always the case with Kiran's books, this was captivating. There is something about the way Kiran captures the lives of animals that really draws you into their world.

This book and the story it is based on are perfect for young readers, with enough emotion to fuel the page turns. We also have a hard copy of the book and the illustrations are stunning.

This is one of the most gorgeous reads I have read in a long time. Not only is the story beautifully written it is also beautifully illustrated. The blue ink style drawings really do add to the story.
The story itself features Leila, who has been estranged from her scientist mother, when she is given an opportunity to spend more time with her, though its also the story of a fox, Misso, and a brave journey across the ice. Just gorgeous.

This story is a must for animal lovers and climate change activists. It tells the story of survival against all odds, with a backdrop of unusual family and brilliant minds. A great coming of age story that will be well loved and widely shared.

This book is magical. Inspired by an Arctic fox’s real 2,000-mile trek across continents, 12-year-old Leila and the blue fox Miso end up together in this hopeful journey.

While the story is beautiful, the true gems in this middle grade text are the dual stories of Leila and Miso and the illustrations that accompany the fox's journey.

Both Leila and Miso try to make sense of the new world -- and for each of them a new world -- as they grow.

Recommended for middle grade readers, particularly those who love animals, adventure, journey, and overcoming obstacles that young people face.

"Leila and the Blue Fox" is a great and timely story with engaging illustrations that will appeal to adults as well as children. It's message about how we can help the Earth with climate change is well rendered, as well as the importance of how we care for ourselves and the creatures around us. I will be buying a hard copy as soon as this is released for my library, and to share with my grandchildren. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This is a really beautifully written book. I liked the characters and how they are interwoven. I like the look at the fox and it's journey and life.
This is a great book to be shared about climate change and what we can do to help the Earth.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

This is a beautiful book. The story by Kiran Millwood Hargrove and illustrations by Tom de Freston complement each other perfectly and it is appealing to both adults and children (9+).

This is a tale of finding your place in a fragile world where war and climate change are destroying some vulnerable parts of the world. It focuses on the journeys we take to survive and hopefully find safety. It also explores the particular challenges a mother sometimes needs to overcome in order to keep their family safe- and how that can disrupt family relationships.

I loved all of the characters, animal and human, central or peripheral. It was packed with the best of humanity and I hope this book is used in classrooms across the world to help younger generations understand the need for sharing of safe spaces and resources when things fall apart for others.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. It was simply stunning.
