When Ginger the fox and her new badger brothers begin building a clubhouse, their efforts are stalled by the cat bullies that have taken over. Will having a new stepdad turn from a frustrating list of new rules to a good thing for Ginger?

This beginning graphic series would be of interest to a 1st-3rd grader, and especially to one reluctant to move from picture books to chapter books. The art is soft and lovely, and the characters are drawn with clear personalities that still manage to hold their animal selves (while they do walk 'upright', they still are badger- and fox-shaped).
