Fox Street was a dead end. In Mo Wren’s opinion, this was only one of many wonderful things about it. Mo’s lived her whole life on Fox Street and can’t imagine anything ever changing—until one unforgettable summer of alarming letters, mysterious errands, and surprising discoveries. . . . “The subtext of her mother’s accidental death is artfully woven into the sensory-rich, action-packed narrative. Mo is a character readers will root for, as her imagination, stubbornness, dislike of surprises, and curiously fierce caution in crossing the street make her seem as intensely real to the reader as her fox is to Mo. What happened on Fox Street? Readers may find their own neighborhoods equally as wondrous after finding out.” - Horn Book (starred review) Springstubb creates a richly human and believable story of the conflicts of growing up and a well-paced, interesting plot with plenty of surprises that readers should find pleasurable and satisfying - School Library Journal “Tricia Springstubb creates a vivid sense of place―I felt sure I’d visited Fox Street in the flesh―and populates her story with memorable characters whose troubles are relevant to all of humanity. Crafted with original turns of phrase and a pleasing pace, What Happened on Fox Street is both engaging and affecting.” - Leslie Connor, award-winning author of Waiting for Normal Springstubb does a lovely job of mixing character, plot, and purpose in a story that contains both hardscrabble realities and moments of magic realism. Her fluency of language supports scenes that are down and dirty and those that soar. But it is her ability to make her readers really feel Mo’s tangle of emotions as hopes and dreams collide with worries and fears that makes this so memorable. - Booklist (starred review) Springstubb effectively turns the neighborhood into a character in its own right, one that’s loving and protective. Mo’s voice is original, though it has tinctures of Scout and Harriet. What happened on Fox Street? Love, belief and caring. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Fox Street was a dead end.
