Francis the Fox
Author
Tuula Pere
Illustrator

Themes
Power, Society
One of the standout parts of the book was the moral it carries about integrity, leadership, and the consequences of dishonesty. The climax, where Francis’s plan unravels in front of the entire city, was satisfying and drove home the point that shortcuts and deceit don’t lead to real success. The book manages to convey these lessons without feeling preachy, which I appreciated.
I found the narrative to be an engaging and witty portrayal of political manipulation and greed. Francis’s character is amusingly over-the-top, and his audacity makes him both laughable and frustrating.
The Fox and the Election Fraud is an enjoyable, light read, perfect for kids but also entertaining for adults who enjoy clever allegories about power and ethics. It’s an especially great pick for young readers who are beginning to learn about fairness, honesty, and the importance of good leadership.

It's poetic in a sense. William is the perfect foil for Francis while also being his former mentor and frequent opponent. William is old, experienced, wise, humble, unselfish, and self-sacrificing (such as when he gave his power away in book one). In contrast, Francis is younger, inexperienced, pigheaded, selfish, and willing to use, manipulate, and throw others under the bus for his own personal gain/ambition.
We love that each of these books maintains a consistent continuity and builds upon the events of the previous books. In other words, this isn't a slice-of-life/monster-of-the-week series in which events happen once, then everything returns to the status quo and isn't mentioned again. No, the story of Francis the Fox is full of ups and downs that compound and build on top of each other.
Yes, she does sorta continue that role, but it's much more dynamic and less black-and-white. Again, Flurry isn't the devil. She isn't pure evil. She's a person—a character with thoughts, feelings, emotions, dreams, drives, and motivations of her own. And that's what makes her so interesting.

The story illustrates the dangers of winning at all costs, allowing young readers to think about that which is important in life. Is the small chance of winning worth it if I lose my reputation, my friends, or even my freedom?
Tuula Pere is a very succinct writer who draws from real-world events to tell captivating stories suitable for both young and adult readers. This book is another example of her layered writing.
I love the Francis the Fox series by Tuula Pere, and her latest addition, The Fox and the Election Fraud, is another excellent story with stunning illustrations by Andrea Alemanno.
