A spellbinding and poignant new adventure from Susanna Bailey, the critically acclaimed author of Snow Foal.

Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson and Hannah Gold

'Haunting and lovely' - Anthony McGowan

"A truly inspirational story about finding the courage to face your fears" - Mel Darbon

Jonah is Rio's big brother. It's his job. It always has been. Especially when Mam does one of her disappearing acts, like now. Her name's Marina, which means 'from the sea'. And just like the sea: she changes with the wind. She comes, she goes.
The sea was there the last time Jonah and Rio saw her. The Whitby Sea. And it wasn't in a good mood. No-one has seen Mam since that day and the social workers say . . . she's not coming back this time.

In Smugglers' Fox, Susanna Bailey masterfully weaves a tale of family, friendship, and emotions, capturing the essence of juvenile fiction. The latest addition to children's literature, this book explores complex themes through the lens of nature and environment, making it a top pick for kids.

For fans of Clare Balding (The Racehorse Who Disappeared), Lauren St John (Finding Wonder), Hannah Gold (The Last Bear), Kes Gray (Oi Dog!), and Veera Hiranandani (The Night Diary).
