What Happened on Fox Street Audiobook

" The kind of sweet middle-grade book that makes librarians happy. Mo lives on a quirky street with her quirky family and everything is sweet and quirky until real-estate developers try to buy their house. Quiet and heartwarming, with not a lot of action but well-developed characters and pretty writing. "

" You might think that not much happens on the street where you live, but for Mo her street -- Fox Street -- is the center of the universe. It has everything including a piano player, a fix-it man, a spooky lady, a perfect hair-cutter, and a boy who likes her. Things get better in the summer when her best friend comes to stay with her grandmother who also lives on Fox Street. But everything is starting to change and Mo doesn't like that at all. This is a lovely book about the strength of friendship, community, and family. It doesn't hit you over the hit with a message but gently opens the door to a very special place and the people who live there. "

" One Sentence Review: I know folks really liked this one, but for me I think I needed the characters to be just a bit more sympathetic and for the stakes to be higher. "

" An ARC provided by a local Ohio author. Loved the setting of Cleveland and I really liked the characters; not a once-size-fits-all type of neighborhood. "

" Very well done and enjoyable. My last book of 2010. "

" This book's premise was really boring to me and the book itself was just as boring. I must have missed something because I know some people really like this book but it wasn't for me and it would be tough to booktalk. "

" Meh--for sisters dealing with life after mom's death I much prefer the Penderwicks. "

" Read as ARC. Lovely story, good plotting with enough foreshadowing to draw young readers in without giving it all away. "

" Poetic flow and incredibly descriptive. I would definitely give this to someone working on their creative writing skills. "

" I quick and interesting read. Some amazing insights from the children and adults in the story. "

" 3 1/2 stars. There were things I really liked about this book, and overall I did like it, but it just seemed to go on forever and never really held my attention. I would love to get a kid's take on this book. "

" Adorable. A great summer read for the 8+ age group. "

" I couldn't get into it, so I've given up for now. May try again later on in the summer... "

" We reviewed and recommended this book for girls in Brownies and Guides, ages 7 - 11 years old. "

" A good read. Strong characters and a quiet story about so many things. "

" Mo Wren lives on Fox Street with her sister (The Wild Child) and her dad. Fox Street is a place she loves like no other place in the world. It's perfect. One summer though, things begin to change and Mo is scared that her her world will never be the same. "

" A very good book about how a young girl saves her home!! "

" I quick and interesting read. Some amazing insights from the children and adults in the story. "

" An old fashioned street community is threatened by a developer's greed. Mo discovers secrets about her friends past while trying to keep her family together after her mother's death, and find a neighborhood fox. Lots of paralells between Mo and the seldom seen fox in "the Green Kingdom". "

" Not a bad little book about change. "
