Most girls think Foxtale is a clothing brand.

But a few girls know… there is also a forest.

Every tree in this forest is a portal, and every portal leads to another world—wild and magical places, each hiding mysteries only the bravest adventurers will unravel.

Foxtale Forest is a place where these
tales live—and grow tall.

And lately, the stories have begun to
disappear, and darkness is spreading through the forest.

The Keeper of Foxtale Forest, a wise
and playful Fox, will choose five girls to help him fight it.

Five girls. One Fox. A secret only a few will ever know.

Amy

Everyone thinks she's the fun and funny one.

The Fox understands there’s more behind the jokes.

Eva

She thinks she knows how adventure stories go.

The Fox will show her how unpredictable adventures can be.

Pax

She's not usually the first one to be seen or heard.

The Fox is first to notice and to listen.

Dani

She’s used to making everything look easy.

The Fox sees her when things are difficult.

Kez

She's always known what it takes to win.

The Fox reminds her that there’s more to life’s challenges than winning.

The Finding Foxtale Forest Series

For mature readers, ages 8 and up

For Dani, Pax, Eva, Kez, and Amy, finding a happy ending to summer break felt impossible.

Maybe your daughter knows that feeling?

We wrote these books to give her a story she won’t put down, with characters she’ll connect with and never forget.

Research shows that girls who read fiction develop stronger empathy, deeper resilience, and a clearer sense of who they are.

We created the world of Foxtale because every girl deserves to become the hero of her own story.

What Parents are Saying

“Never under estimate the power of kindness to change the wind.” As a mom of a voracious reader, I have found it to be a consuming challenge to find captivating stories for my daughter that still protect/preserve her innocence. “Finding Foxtale Forest” is a true find! This amazingly imaginative and captivating story preserves the innocence, while also providing inspiring truth and indispensable values that not enough novels for youth have. The author, Madeleine Hewitt, has a talent in her writing that seems very C.S. Lewis-like in his “Chronicles of Narnia,” as she provides the reader great adventure with humor and great characters, while weaving subtle invaluable life lessons. That is a very rare find, indeed. We live in a time when we want our daughters to know they can change the wind!

"Finding Foxtale" has been an absolute delight for me and my daughter to read together. This enchanting tale is filled with adventure, wonder, and lessons that resonate across generations. The story is captivating, blending a whimsical plot with powerful themes of courage, self-discovery, and friendship. 

I wholeheartedly recommend this book for moms and daughters who enjoy sharing stories that inspire and entertain. It’s a heartwarming, beautifully written adventure. The illustrations are also beautiful, and they help to spark my daughter's imagination.

Wendy

My 7 year old daughter and I loved this free-spirited story filled with friendship! We loved getting to know the characters in Part 1. It was the perfect set up to the magical adventures they begin in Part 2. We're already looking forward to the Second book in the Finding Foxtale Forest!!

Sam

Loved reading this book and have shared it with friends and neighbors whose daughters and moms and dads love it too. The author introduces the characters, supported by beautiful illustrations and then the adventures start, of course the fox is the mysterious glue that holds it all together. Beautifully written and illustrated. Truly a joy.

What Educators & Child Development Experts are Saying

LOVED this book about the adventures of the five girls that highlight grit, teamwork, building friendships, and confidence. These stories about girls uplifting and relying on each other were so refreshing.

Uni (Educator)

As a former educator, I truly admire a well written book. The five characters, Eva, Pax, Dani, Kez, and Amy all feel like part of our family. 

If you are looking for a book to read to your children, or one they can read on their own (my 2nd grader enjoys me reading it to her in the evenings, and my 5th grader enjoys reading it on her own), I have no doubt you will love and adore Finding Foxtale Forest.

Anna (Educator)

Madeleine Hewitt’s delightful creativity and wordsmith excellence draws us all into an adventure where we discover the true essence of friendship, the world of magical life moments, and a sense of how we learn and grow as each new adventure teaches us something new about ourselves and our world. It inspires good thinking habits for our children.This is a great book to read yourself and then to read out loud to your children and grandchildren. We loved it! It’s a favorite on our book shelf.

Cynthia (Educator)

Profound insights into self-awareness and the challenges of interpersonal relationships are as impressive as the magical fantasies within which these stories take form. Five young girls experience the unifying power of teaming towards purposes larger than themselves. And it works! Diverse personalities and giftedness, when working in congenial collaboration, can win the day. While written for younger girls, the allegories are not lost on us… adults. Each adventure gave me pause for thought.
