The Adventures of Faraday Fox

About this book

"The Adventures of Faraday Fox" is an incredible journey of a brave red fox as he travels across the United States of America, from Dahlonega, Georgia, to Port Orchard, Washington. Orphaned as a baby, Faraday is domesticated by Shirley. When he is ready, he is released into the Cherokee National Forest in hopes he will find a new home with the forest animals. After a while, he decides he wants the life he knows and loves with Shirley and embarks on a quest to return home. But which way is home? Thinking he would eventually catch a ride back to his home in Georgia, he makes his way across the U.S.A. by walking, hitching rides in the baggage compartment of a bus, the back of a McDonald's trailer truck, and in a boxcar. Along his travels to America's cities, he faces perils, makes friends, and shares stories and adventures. He finally reaches Monterey, California, where he finds Shirley on vacation with her daughter-in-law, Vissy. Now happy again, Faraday travels with his new family to Port Orchard, Washington, to live out his life with Vissy, Mike, and their granddaughter, Charlie.
