Pax
by Sara Pennypacker
This story of Peter and his pet fox, Pax will warm your heart and break it in two. This middle grade novel is currently part of the 2022 Reading Olympics which my son is participating in so I'm reading along with the books he chooses to read for the challenge.
War is coming and Peter's father knows that the world is not safe and he makes Peter drop Pax off in the woods before dropping Peter off at his grandfather's house as Peter's father is off to fight in the war. Peter is heartbroken by his father forcing this on him but makes a vow to come back to the same spot in the woods and find his friend. This story is in both Peter's as well as Pax's perspective; for me Pax's perspective shows the innocence of animals. Peter's vow is not an easy one to keep as almost everything seemingly is trying to keep him and his fox apart and war gets closer and closer.
