This book comprises of three stories about Zelda and Ivy’s fun filled adventures in the Runaways, the Time Capsule and the Secret Concoction.  The little fox sisters run away into their back yard to protest having to eat their Dad’s cucumber sandwiches, which they detest. They go on to build a time capsule in the next story, and concoct a secret potion to hopefully cure Zelda’s writer’s block in the last story. This book could be used to discuss time capsules and what a student could possibly put in there.  It could also be used to find other ways to cure writer’s block other than drinking “creative juice.”
