OUTSMARTED AND OUTFOXED
Jonah (Joe) Johnson is an eleven- year- old whose life has just been turned upside down. His mother lost her job in Orlando so they have moved to his deceased grandmother's old house in rural Alabama. On the first day in school, Joe is confronted by a bully who demands that Joe write his homework assignment.Things go from bad to worse when the tax collector appears and informs them that the property taxes are overdue and the county would be foreclosing. Now they will need to move into his Uncle Mike's house. When Joe goes outside he discovers a fox in the hen house, not any old fox but a talking fox! Joe and Fox become fast friends, but not before Fox causes all sorts of mayhem as Joe desperately tries to think of ways to help his mother, face the bully and maintain his friend relationship with Fox.This fantasy tale is written well with lots of authentic dialogue and humor. Middle- grade students will find lots to love. There are cute cartoon- like drawings of the characters interspersed with the text. Blaze touches on issues important to students in this age group. The tale is an easy read that is under one hundred pages which makes it appealing to reluctant readers. Highly recommended for eight to twelve- year- olds, and adults who are willing to listen to a talking fox.

While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.A very awesome book cover, great colored pictures & proper font & writing style. A very well written children’s fantasy story book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s fantasy movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.Thank you for the free author; BookSends; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; bookTony Parsons MSW (Washburn)

Very funny
I am 6 years old. I thought this was a very funny book. The fox was smart and funny and said great things, like "I'm gonna pee on the carpet" and "Rotten eggs smell like farts." It's a good book for kids my age and a little older.

My son (12) loved this book. He is not a big reader, but he read this entire book in one bedtime span. It kept him engaged and so entertained that he immediately asked if there are more.

Normally my son reads books like Dogman and other things like that that when I have to help him with school work I just have to suffer and read along with them and I do enjoy any of them or the jokes that are in them but with these Fox series books I love them they're hilarious he loves them and find some hilarious and it's something we can share together and enjoy together I love these books and we enjoy the whole series that we've had so far and can and hope to continue enjoying them

A Great Kid's Book With Lots of Humor
I bought this for my 8 year old daughter and am helping her write the review. It was her first e-book :) Her words below (and I concur, I read snippets of it to her along the way)."I loved it so much. I liked the part where they flipped over the mattress and there was so much money that they could keep their house. The book was funny. And it also made me feel happy. Foxes are my favorite animal! I'm glad you wrote this book." <3

The cutest book ever!
This was one of the cutest books ever! I got it from the school library for my 10-year-old son. He ended up doing a book report on it, therefore I bought it for the Kindle. He really enjoyed the book and did great on his book report. It is very entertaining. I even enjoyed it the second time.

Excessive Advertising and Weak Illustrations Weaken a Good Children's Book
This is a children’s book aimed at the 8-12 age group. The book has one incredible element – an intelligent, talking fox – while everything else is normal, or as normal as it could be for twelve-year-old Jonah. He is attending a new school, which prompts the normal apprehensions accompanying the desire to “fit in.” Jonah and his mother have found that their plans of where to live have changed, further complicating his life.And then there is the fox. Once the two have met, Jonah desires to continue for both to meet, although that won’t be possible if he has to move.The book moves along quickly, and author David Blaze has written the book to draw younger readers into Jonah’s life, thus encouraging them to continue turning the pages. It is easy for them to identify with the main character. I am not sure what the author intended for the pictures to convey. They are small drawings with no background and just one individual character at a time. For all that the “illustrations” provided, they may as well have been omitted.The story is much shorter than you may be led to believe. It is over about two-thirds into the book, and the rest of the book is nothing more than “free previews,” ads for other books which the purchaser is paying for. While I recommend the story of “My Fox Ate My Homework,” I was dismayed to find so much advertising filler at the end of the book. Three-and-a-half stars.

My Fox are my homework review.
I chose this rating because this book was a hilarious fantasy! It was also very very interesting as well as funny.I liked the part where Shane, the school bully, records Fox and Jonah, who likes to be called Joe, the main character, on Joe's birthday.I disliked nothing! It was all so interesting and nice and I wanted to know more as I read on. The beginning was the only thing that was quite boring. But the middle and end is AMAZING!I recommend this to anyone who likes funny and interesting stories. And this is a perfect book for people who like funny and interesting books!

Nice story
I read this book with my eight year old son. He liked it a lot and said 'it's awesome because it's funny and good for kids.' His favourite bit was the fox.
