Gumiho Andrew Frinkle

This is a collection of 9 stories about a Gumiho, a creature from Asian folklore. A Gumiho is a 9-tailed fox, but this one was born without a tail and must earn each tail through a difficult lesson. When she collects all 9, a choice must be made that will decide her destiny. Journey with her as she changes from a nameless, tailless fox to become a Gumiho in her full powers, a shapeshifting fox-girl! This story is a great read-along or solo read for kids in higher elementary school and all middle school grades.
