After an incident shatters their family, eleven-year old Samantha and her older sister Caitlin are sent to live in rural Oregon with an aunt they've never met. Sam wants nothing more than to go back to the way things were… before she spoke up about their father's anger. When Aunt Vicky gives Sam a mysterious card game called 'A Game of Fox & Squirrels,' Sam falls in love with the animal characters, especially the charming trickster fox, Ashander. Then one day Ashander shows up in Sam’s room and offers her an adventure and a promise: find the Golden Acorn, and Sam can have anything she desires. But the fox is hiding rules that Sam isn't prepared for, and her new home feels more tempting than she'd ever expected.

Hay una vaca en la nevera y Hay un hipopótamo en la bañera

Dos historias originales, divertidas y muy muy tiernas, que harán reír a toda la familia. Un domingo por la mañana, mi madre gritó: - ¡¿QUIÉN HA METIDO UNA VACA EN LA NEVERA?! Una enooorme aventura estaba a punto de comenzar. Tan enorme como el corazón de vaca de Carola Quesodebola. Y al siguiente domingo, apareció otra sorpresa... Mi madre me despertó gritando desde el baño: -¡¿QUIÉN HA METIDO UN HIPOPÓTAMO EN LA BAÑERA?! Mi cerebro pasó del descanso a la máxima actividad en un segundo, batiendo su propio record. «Piensa, piensa, piensa...» pensé. La lista de cosas metidas en sitios INCORRECTOS era bastante larga: medio bocadillo de mortadela en el fondo de la mochila (se me olvidó tirarlo a la basura el martes pasado); un calcetín de deporte en el acuario de peces tropicales de papá (mi intención era que cayera en el cesto de la ropa sucia pero me falló la puntería);dos dedos bastante limpios en el bote de la nata montada (¿quién es capaz de ver un bote de nata montada sin meter el dedo?)... Sobre meter hipopótamos en bañeras no recordaba nada.
