When Dashiel’s body is found dumped on an East London wasteland, his best friend Danny sets out to find the killer. But Danny finds interaction difficult and must keep his world small in order to survive. By day he lives in an abandoned swimming pool and fixes electrical devices to trade for supplies, but by night, alone, he hunts sharks a reckless search for dangerous men who prey on the vulnerable.
A chance meeting with an American boy selling himself on the streets throws this lonely existence into disarray. Micky is troubled, fragile, and Danny feels a desperate need to protect him. Though from what, he doesn't know. As Danny discovers more about Micky, he realises that what Micky needs saving from is the one thing Danny has no idea how to fight.
To save Micky, Danny must risk expanding his world and face something that scares him more than any shark ever could: trusting he will be accepted for who he is. If a freezing winter on the streets, a sadistic doctor, and three thousand miles don't tear them apart first, that is.

Anyone who believes that a story can't be both heartbreaking and heartwarming needs to read Foxes, and yes, there are foxes (the four-legged kind) in the story.
The author gives us a small insight into the world of people living on the streets, selling themselves to make enough money to buy food, maybe a place to sleep for the night. Some take shelter in abandoned building. This is part of the heartbreaking portion of the story.
The heartwarming portions show how they look out for each other, and there are others like restaurant owners, flower shop owners to try the help them out.
I wish I could take Danny in and provide for him. He's definitely trying to protect his friends by tracking down those who would hurt them. He actually does find one. What happens when he does, well you'll just have to read the book to find out.
The same with Micky. That's how realistically these characters are written. You can't help but get caught up in their lives. You want to hug them when the need it, support them, cheer when the do something awesome and slap them on the back of their heads when they do something risky or just plain dumb.
The story line itself is thought-provoking. What would I do if I were one of them? Would I wonder about the motives of someone who's trying to help me? Could I trust them or keep things strictly on a business level. I know all these these thoughts went through my mind.
I really enjoyed the Foxes and I hope to read more about Danny and Micky and how their lives changed when they got the help they needed.
5 out of 5 stars! Cheers to Suki Fleet for writing this compelling story.
