Haunt Fox (1954)
Haunt Fox is a 1954 children: grades 4-6 book written by Jim Kjelgaard.
This was an engaging and fun read from cover to cover. Star is a young fox with wits and brains to match or exceed the humans and dogs in his home area. Due to having an uncanny ability to confound those who hunt him, and leaving six-toed tracks in the snow, local trapper Dade Matson refers to Star as a Ha'nt (Haunt/ghost) fox. The name sticks, and those who enjoy running their dogs against a fox take up the challenge.
Realistic, but not explicit, this is a thoroughly entertaining story for kids or adults.
