‘Haunting and lovely’ – Anthony McGowan
“A truly inspirational story about finding the courage to face your fears” – Mel Darbon
Jonah is Rio’s big brother. It's his job. It always has been. Especially when Mam does one of her disappearing acts, like now. Her name’s Marina, which means ‘from the sea’. And just like the sea: she changes with the wind. She comes, she goes.
The sea was there the last time Jonah and Rio saw her. The Whitby Sea. And it wasn’t in a good mood. No-one has seen Mam since that day and the social workers say... she’s not coming back this time.

Smugglers’ Fox by Susanna Bailey is praised for its compassionate and sensitive portrayal of challenging situations and emotions, with Jonah's affection for his brother Rio beautifully highlighted. The young fox character also adds depth to the narrative. It is described as an inspirational story wrapped in Bailey's lyrical prose that stirs emotions but ultimately instils hope.
