Pax and Peter have been inseparable ever since Peter rescued him as a kit. But one day, the unimaginable happens: Peter's dad enlists in the military and makes him return the fox to the wild.
At his grandfather's house, three hundred miles away from home, Peter knows he isn't where he should be—with Pax. He strikes out on his own despite the encroaching war, spurred by love, loyalty, and grief, to be reunited with his fox.
Meanwhile Pax, steadfastly waiting for his boy, embarks on adventures and discoveries of his own. . . .
Reviews with the most likes.
I understand the ending but also: working up until that final point to then undo it?
(super vague review because I don't want to spoil)
This was such a creative story. I did get a little emotional in parts. I know it's made for young people but I feel it was too violent and graphic for the kids that this book would appeal to
4.5 stars. Some books for younger readers feel more like they're written for adults from the lens of youth. One of the most interesting and heartwrenching books I've read about war, adolescence, and what it means to be wild.
