FOXTALE (2022)

Earth, 2119. There's no longer any poverty, crime, or war, but the planet-on the brink of its sixth mass extinction-has become a barely habitable wasteland. Enter Tabby Fox, a teenager who lives alone with her dog and leads a monotonous existence: work, eat, shower, sleep, repeat. Then, one day, the head of the shadowy government appears on her terrace, calling her to help execute a top-secret mission to recover a valuable android. From another planet. As Tabby trains for her journey into space, she uncovers new information that forces her to question who she can trust-and realizes that her own life is in danger.

Foxtale is Sarah Hunt's first novel, written when she was 14. It won first place in the Stone Soup 2021 Book Contest and was awarded Finalist in the Young Author category in the 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.
