New York Times Bestseller * National Book Award Longlist
From bestselling and award-winning author Sara Pennypacker comes a
beautifully wrought, utterly compelling novel about the powerful
relationship between a boy and his fox. Pax is destined to become a
classic, beloved for generations to come.
Pax and Peter have been inseparable ever since Peter rescued him as a
kit. But one day, the unimaginable happens: Peter's dad enlists in the
military and makes him return the fox to the wild.
At his grandfather's house, three hundred miles away from home, Peter
knows he isn't where he should be--with Pax. He strikes out on his own
despite the encroaching war, spurred by love, loyalty, and grief, to be
reunited with his fox.
Meanwhile Pax, steadfastly waiting for his boy, embarks on adventures
and discoveries of his own. . . .
Pax is a wonderful choice for independent reading, sharing in the
classroom, homeschooling, and book groups.
Plus, don't miss Pax, Journey Home, the sequel to the award-winning
and modern classic Pax.
