Pax

A moving story of the extraordinary friendship between a boy and his fox, and their epic journey to be reunited. Pax was only a kit when his family was killed and he was rescued by ‘his boy’, Peter. Now the country is at war and when his father enlists, Peter has no choice but to move in with his grandfather. Far worse than leaving home is the fact that he has to leave Pax behind. But before Peter spends even one night under his grandfather’s roof he sneaks out into the night, determined to find his beloved friend. This is the story of Peter, Pax, and their journeys back to each other as war rampages throughout the country. A profound and moving story, ‘Pax’ is destined to become a classic in the vein of ‘Charlotte’s Web’ and ‘Watership Down’. In this Sunday Times bestselling book, the author masterfully explores themes of grief, survival, and emotions. The award-winning PAX is not just a story of adventure and action, but also a profound exploration of feelings and social dynamics. For fans of Katherine Rundell (The Wolf Wilder), Peter Brown (Creepy Pair of Underwear!), Karen Inglis (Eeek! The Runaway Alien), Jon Klassen (The Three Billy Goats Gruff), and Thiago De Moraes (The Night Bear).
