My Fox Ate My Homework (a hilarious fantasy about a boy and his talking fox, for children ages 8-12)

Jonah (Joe) Johnson is an eleven- year- old whose life has just been turned upside down. His mother lost her job in Orlando so they have moved to his deceased grandmother's old house in rural Alabama. On the first day in school, Joe is confronted by a bully who demands that Joe write his homework assignment.Things go from bad to worse when the tax collector appears and informs them that the property taxes are overdue and the county would be foreclosing. Now they will need to move into his Uncle Mike's house. When Joe goes outside he discovers a fox in the hen house, not any old fox but a talking fox! Joe and Fox become fast friends, but not before Fox causes all sorts of mayhem as Joe desperately tries to think of ways to help his mother, face the bully and maintain his friend relationship with Fox.This fantasy tale is written well with lots of authentic dialogue and humor. Middle- grade students will find lots to love. There are cute cartoon- like drawings of the characters interspersed with the text. Blaze touches on issues important to students in this age group. The tale is an easy read that is under one hundred pages which makes it appealing to reluctant readers. Highly recommended for eight to twelve- year- olds, and adults who are willing to listen to a talking fox.

I bought this series for my classroom. I was very disappointed. These books are poorly written, poorly illustrated, and look homemade. (The illustrations are actually terrible clip art images). I took them out of my reading center. :-(

While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.A very awesome book cover, great colored pictures & proper font & writing style. A very well written children’s fantasy story book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s fantasy movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.Thank you for the free author; BookSends; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; bookTony Parsons MSW (Washburn)

My 7 year old daughter absolutely loved this book. She could not put it down! In her own words "it was funny and the end was great".

Fantastic book for this age group. My granddaughter loved it! I have already bought the next book.

My daughter, who is ten years old, reads a book a month and said this was the best book she has ever read. She can't wait for the next book by David Blaze.

A very entertaining book. My 3 yr old granddaughter loves hearing the story and can't wait to hear more. Thank you "David Blaze".

My son (10 years old) is a reluctant reader, but he enjoyed this book so much that he asked me to buy the next one in the series (which I did, he is reading it now).

This book is OK - but readers outside the US might find the writing style a little cheesy. Not to mention the mismatched clip art illustrations. I had much higher hopes.

My 10 year old grandson said this wa very funny. It arrived within the stated time.

Great product exactly as described, exactly what I wanted and fast delivery

my son loves it

Bought as a gift.
