About this audiobook
The first book in a thrilling fantasy trilogy starring one of the animal kingdom's most hunted heroes. Foxcraft is full of excitement and heart, and a touch of magic.
Isla and her brother are two young foxes living just outside the lands of the furless--humans. The life of a fox is filled with dangers, but Isla has begun to learn mysterious skills meant to help her survive.
Then the unthinkable happens. Returning to her den, Isla finds it set ablaze and surrounded by strange foxes, and her family is nowhere in sight. Forced to flee, she escapes into the cold, gray world of the furless.
Now Isla must navigate this bewildering and deadly terrain, all while being hunted by a ruthless enemy. In order to survive, she will need to master the ancient arts of her kind--magical gifts of cunning known only to foxes. She must unravel the secrets of foxcraft.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loved the story, so ill be listening to the next one. Main negative is the readers voice. Sounds like a young child who is struggling to read aloud in class and its distracting enough to break me out of the story constantly.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love how the author created her own terms for common things in our live into the perspective of the characters in this book.
It took me a while as I’m not native to English to know that
Mangler=Car
Death river=Road
Brightglobe=Lamp
Spy hole=Window
Furless=Human
Etc..
Those things help us the reader to see the world outside of our normal perspective.3 people found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Isla and her brother Pirie are close. They're always together and their bond is strong. They are living close to the furless, humans, and know they should stay away from them. There are many dangers in the world, but Isla feels safe in the den with her family. This changes when she returns to their den and finds complete chaos. Her family is no longer there and Isla is on her own. There's nobody to look after her and she doesn't know what happened to her family. The only thing she does know is that her brother Pirie is alive. They share a connection and via Foxcraft, a natural gift that they aren't particularly skilled at yet, it's sometimes possible to communicate for a short moment. Isla is determined to find Pirie and starts her search.
Isla needs help if she wants to find her brother. She doesn't know enough Foxcraft to survive on her own. She meets Siffrin, a young fox who seems to be able to teach her and might be willing to help, but can he be trusted? Who's he working with and will he be able to help Isla with her search? Isla has to conquer many fears and run for her life several times to stay ahead of her enemies. The Taken are cunning and always seem to find out where she is, will she survive?
The Taken is an action-packed story about a brave and clever fox. Isla has a good heart, she's a true survivor and she's willing to learn as much as she can if it helps her to reach her goals. I immediately loved her. She's a fantastic main character and reading about her put a big smile on my face. She has spunk and spirit and that's exactly what she needs for her mission to have a chance at success. I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough to find out where the search for her brother would lead her. She meets plenty of dangers along the way and I was fascinated by her journey from beginning to end.
Inbali Iserles has created a fantastic world. I love how she gives her foxes their own words for things like the city, the highway, humans and the river. It makes her story extra fun and credible. I love stories about animals and am a big fan of foxes. I also really like stories about magic, so I immediately fell in love with the subject of Foxcraft. It's an interesting combination and it works very well. Inbali Iserles skillfully describes life seen through the eyes of a fox and I greatly admired the way she does this. The Taken is a fantastic enchanting story.2 people found this helpful
