This was an engaging and fun read from cover to cover. Star is a young fox with wits and brains to match or exceed the humans and dogs in his home area. Due to having an uncanny ability to confound those who hunt him, and leaving six-toed tracks in the snow, local trapper Dade Matson refers to Star as a Ha'nt (Haunt/ghost) fox. The name sticks, and those who enjoy running their dogs against a fox take up the challenge.
Realistic, but not explicit, this is a thoroughly entertaining story for kids or adults.
James Arthur Kjelgaard was an American author of young adult literature. He is the author of more than forty novels, the most famous of which is 1945's Big Red.
