Foxspell

A mysterious and unforgettable dream, this multi-award-winning book is a fable of shape-shifters and animal spirits, of teenage gangs and schoolyard friends and finding your place in the world-or worlds-all concentrated in a dense, vivid corner of the half-wild Adelaide hills.

First published in 1994, Foxspell won the CBCA Book of the Year: Older Readers, 1995 and the National Library of Australia National Audio Book-of-the-Year Award TDK Australian Audio Book Award in the Abridged Fiction Category, 1996, and was an American Bookseller ‘Pick of the Lists’ in 1996.
