In this lovely little short book, novelist Stephanie O’Connor has set out to tell a story of one young boy’s strength to stay true to himself.
The Fox in the Suitcase
We meet Zack, a young schoolboy, who is not a fast runner, even though he tries hard every day. One day, after a particularly bad day at school, Zack begins his walk home alone. Taking his favourite track past the forest, Zack comes across a curious brown suitcase lying on the grass verge which he opens. To his amazement, up out of the suitcase pops a mysterious little fox. The fox tells Zack that he can grant him a wish to make him run as fast or even faster than his peers, but Zack does not want the wish. The story builds into an ever-accelerating test of character, until one day the fox gives Zack a new pair of magic trainers, now he can run marathons and beat the school's sprinting records. This short book will challenge children’s preconceptions about dishonesty and urge them to be honest.
