The story is about a boy who had to go
to a farm for the summer holidays because his parents were
going to Europe to participate in some biking competition. At
the farm, he is bored and thinks he won't enjoy his stay. When
he sees a black fox, he suddenly feels that he wants to stay
at the farm. Every time he sees the fox, he makes a notch on
his suitcase. When his uncle(who owns the farm) wants to kill
the fox because it ate his aunt's chickens, the boy tries to
stop him.

This is a sort of creepy book, and
there's one guy in the book
who's......................somewhat a ghost. The three main
characters are : Geneva Reade, Geneva Reade(Jenny) and Seward.
There are two Geneva Reades in the book, one is an old one and
the other is her granddaughter. Seward is the guy who is
creepy and ghostly.
The book says that he drowned
but somehow made a promise to the sea, that in
exchange of being sent back up to land,
he must return whatever that is important to the sea to the sea. That's why
I say he's a ghost.
The best
part of the book, I would
say, is the part where the hurricane destroyed Geneva Reade's
house, as I think that it is so
descriptive that I feel that I am in the hurricane, but maybe it is also
I have a great imagination.
