christine52 's review for:
Pax
by Sara Pennypacker
Although this is ostensibly a "children's" book, I would caution against too young, or too naive a child from reading it. That being said, I really enjoyed the book and the character portrayals. The story was very engaging and compelling, with many unexpected twists and turns. It is a story of loyalty, determination, peace and war. The main characters are the boy Peter and the fox Pax whom he has raised from a kit. As the story unfolds, they are separated due to the impending threat of war. Both are confused and upset by this separation and both vow to find each other. The interweaving of their stories in alternating chapters was well done. They both encounter new friends in their quest to find each other and these friends prove to be great finds. Sara Pennypacker has given us a new classic!
