Peter is a 12-year-old boy who rescued a baby fox several years ago. He named the fox “Pax” and they have been inseparable ever since. But Peter’s father must go to war and he has to take Peter to his grandfather’s to live. Along the way, he forces Peter to release Pax into the wild. 200 miles later at the grandfather’s house, Peter knows he has made a terrible mistake, and he sets off in the middle of the night to hike back to the spot where he left Pax.

Meanwhile, after a couple of cold lonely nights, Pax doesn’t know where his boy went; but he is determined to head back toward their original home. The real shock for the reader is that the war is not in some faraway location – it is right in the area where Pete lives, and the enemy is marching.

It’s a thoughtful book, with alternating chapters from both Peter and Pax’s point-of-view. Pax is not overly anthropomorphized. I think it would make an excellent novel for book discussions with 6th-7th grade level.

Peter and Pax, his pet fox, have been best friends since Pax was a kit. When the war begins Peter is sent off to live with his grandfather. Peter must leave Pax behind and his fox is sent back to the forest to fend for himself. This begins a grand journey for both Peter and Pax to try to find their way back to each other. This dramatic story is told alternately through the eyes of Peter and Pax. A heartwarming story about friendship, love, loss and loyalty.

A beautiful sweet sad story. The lack of a concrete setting was distracting at first, but if you can just embrace the story as it is, it is delightful. I love seeing the growth of Pax as a fox through the story, and how his boy is able to grow and change, too.

The only reason I rated it so low is because it is so sad! That's a warning for you!

Pax was an amazing book. It was a heartwrenching story, and the main character was very connected with certain characters throughout the story. In the story, we meet Vola, a strong woman, but is kindhearted inside. We also meet Peter and Pax, an inseparable relationship. This book was very good, and had me on the edge of the chair at every single part of the story.
