Ready for a scare? This intense, richly illustrated story is about a pair of brave foxes who set out on dangerous journey. As you explore the 45 screens, you help the foxes save their island from giant spiders, earthquakes and other bad things. Many of the items come to life when touched, and there are 84 hidden stars to discover. If you find them you can unlock a secret area. Underlying themes to the story involve not stereotyping good or bad, and the importance of working together. A well designed index lets you jump to any scene, and you can toggle between five languages (English, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Chinese). The bottom line -- this is a rich language experience. This story comes from the same team that made “Amelia and Terror of the Night.” The story is by Luhasz Rutkowski and Piotr Ruszkowski; illustrations by Piotr Foksowicz and Piotr Ruszkowski.
