Dad has moved out and Ani is struggling to accept his absence. Her mysterious neighbour, Nando, and his secret nocturnal trips provide a welcome distraction.
When Ani follows Nando, she doesn’t expect to come face to face with the wild fox he has befriended. During each nighttime visit they learn a little more about the fox, and each other.
But are Ani and Nando ready for the new challenges this friendship brings? And can caring for another creature bring more harm than good in this strange and eerie world?
An enchanting tale of secret nighttime walks, a mysterious fox and finding friendship in the most unexpected of places.
