Students have been raving about this book for years, so I finally got around to hearing it. it is beautiful.  Descriptions of childhood grief and a difficult relationship with the remaining parent. A strong bond with a fox, which he is then forced to abandon. the quest to find the fox again and the determination shown - with a broken foot.  Loved it!

Imagine so many classics rolled into one: Black Beauty, Old Yeller, Hatchet, and the  Incredible Journey all rolled into one. Then imagine that there are still new and beautiful things to say about family, connection, growing up, surviving, letting go. And then, go read Pax.
