Pax

A boy. A fox. A father who has enlisted in a sudden war.

The boy releases his fox into the wild and immediately regrets it. He sneaks away from his grandfather's house to attempt to reunite with the fox. In the process he breaks his leg and meets up with a woman with her own set of issues stemming from a war. The fox, too, meets up with new companions and his own set of adventures.

All this with suitably mysterious illustrations by the wonderful Jon Klassen.
