Peter and Pax—boy and his fox, fox and his boy—in this life they help each other survive grief that each of them has in their own way. Pax’s parents died when he was still a little fox, and Peter—who recently lost his mother—saved him from death. They aren’t friends and they aren’t brothers, they aren’t master and pet. They are one whole. But Peter realizes that only when he has to part from Pax. And having realized it, he goes searching for his fox.
A piercing and sincere book about truth and lies, about the pointlessness of war, about the fragility of nature, about staying true to yourself and the ability to empathize—Amazon’s best children’s book of 2016.
