There had always been otters in the stream running through Farthing
Wood--and that had never been a problem for the other animals before but
when there is a shortage of fish in the stream, the otters are forced to
hunt on land. The otters are taking valuable prey, and the foxes and
other Farthing Wood animals have to compete for food. Lean Vixen is
determined to protect her family from starvation, and that means
deciding on a plan to drive the otters out once and for all. An extra
section in the back of the book offers more than 20 pages of interesting
facts, activities, a quiz, author info, and more.
