So cute, as far as it goes. It ended too soon, and I could wish a little more on the Ghost King as well. Perhaps Mr Morpurgo was only trying to avoid the historical controversy. Lovely little book, though; it would make a great gift for a child into soccer, sorry, football.

FOX THE GHOST KING NOTU_HB Michael Morpurgo 9780008215774 Books Reviews

If you have a young football (soccer) fan in your life who can tell you that Football + Foxes = Leicester City, then this might be the read for them. Even if they aren’t a big fan of football, this fun tale combines foxes with sport, history and even a touch of Shakespeare as it provides a supernatural reason for why the underdogs won the English Premiere League last season.

It’s a quick read, wonderfully illustrated throughout by Michael Foreman, where a young and plucky fox goes to a football match with his dad, discovers a lost king and wins the kind of reward many, many football fans can only dream of.

If I’m honest I would have liked a bit more to have happened between the foxes and the ghost, but as it stands it’s fun and fast and cleverly ties up some of the more unusual occurrences in the city of Leicester over recent years.

Great for those who like football as well as those more interested in real foxes, and witty enough for adults to enjoy too. Admittedly, it has a definite UK focus that mean some of the nuances might be lost on international readers, but the story is fun enough for everyone to enjoy.

(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
My 7 year old son loved it!
