Description: Fox 8 has always been known as the daydreamer in his pack, the one his fellow foxes regarded with a knowing snort and a roll of the eyes. That is, until Fox 8 develops a unique skill: He teaches himself to speak “Yuman” by hiding in the bushes outside a house and listening to children’s bedtime stories. The power of language fuels his abundant curiosity about people—even after “danjer” arrives in the form of a new shopping mall that cuts off his food supply, sending Fox 8 on a harrowing quest to help save his pack. Told with his distinctive blend of humor and pathos, Fox 8 showcases the extraordinary imaginative talents of George Saunders, whom the New York Times called “the writer for our time.”

My Review:
First off, It's always nice when the author narrates the audio version! I thought the author did an awesome job narrating the story!!! Since I heard the audio version as opposed to reading the print format I did not experience the phonetic differences at all. I think that's a good thing! Personally, I think I would have found it humorous but it would ultimately take away from the story for me. I thoroughly enjoyed this story even though it sent my on a roller coaster of emotions. It is a solid story that is humorous, sad, heartbreaking and hopeful.
