A forest trail toward friendship

A letter from an old friend draws Fox into a chain of clues scattered through the forest: arrows in the mud, notes on trees, smoke signals, a bottled map, and gifts from other animals. The puzzle gives the story its shape, while Fox’s reluctance to revisit the past connects the mystery to repairing a friendship. The picture book brings together themes of forgiveness and expressing feelings within an animal-filled forest setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy picture-book mysteries and following clues.
  • Young readers exploring friendship, forgiveness, and talking about feelings.
  • Families seeking an animal story with a puzzle at its center.

Book overview

Fox has a mystery to solve--and a friendship to fix!

In the dense forest, in a lonely cottage, there lives Fox. Fox is perfectly happy all by himself--until one day, a letter arrives: "Dear Fox: I know how much you enjoy puzzles. I bet you can't resist this one . . . Head to the forest path to begin your journey. From an old friend."

Fox doesn't need any mysterious puzzles, adventures, or memories of his old . . . But he stops himself from finishing the thought. Still, it can't hurt to look at the first clue. Of course, one clue leads to the next: Fox follows arrows in the mud, notes taped to trees, swirling smoke signals, a map from a bottle, and gifts from fellow animals--on the trail of a friendship that once was.

Author-illustrator Alex G. Griffiths creates an irresistible mystery for readers to solve in this witty, whimsical picture book--with important themes of friendship, forgiveness, and opening up about your feelings.
