Pax

by Sara Pennypacker

Pax was just a kit when Peter took him in, and ever since, they’ve been inseparable. But when war calls Peter’s father away, Peter is sent to live with a grandfather he barely knows—and forced to release Pax into the wild. Heartbroken and alone, Peter sets off on a daring journey to reunite with his fox, while Pax begins his own path of survival and discovery. As war rages around them, boy and fox fight to find their way back to each other—and to the bond that neither time nor distance can break.
