The Fox Girl and the White Gazelle

by Victoria Williamson

Reema runs to remember the life she left behind in Syria.
Caylin runs to escape the emptiness of what she’s lost.

In the heart of Glasgow, twelve-year-old Reema is trying to adjust to a new country, a new language, and life without her brother. Next door, Caylin feels forgotten, angry, and alone. When an injured fox and her cubs bring the girls together, a fragile friendship begins to grow.

Bound by their shared love of running, Reema and Caylin discover strength in each other—and learn that home isn’t a place, but the people you love.
