Product Information

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 .

    PAX was wonderful

    I was expecting just a little children’s book that I could read to a very young child, , but was so surprised with the mature approach to the story and it was very well written. I would recommend it to every 12 year old or older. Thank you.

  • A wonderful easy read

    The story is wonderfully written. I bought this to read on vacation but started it early and now I can't put it down. There are two tails - one told through the eyes of a boy and one though the eyes of a fox. Both are different and both are descriptive and moving.

  • Perfect read for my 5th grader!

    My 11 year old daughter loved the book and read it in about 3 days. It kept her attention and she couldn't put it down! Also, it was in great shape for a used book.

  • Fantastic writing

    I Read this before giving it to my grandchildren and I think they are too young. This is one of the best books I've read all year and I'm recommending it to adults. I loved this story, love the writing, loved the characters and hated for it to end. It's a beautiful book.
