Pax was only a kit when his family was killed, and he was saved by Peter. The two share a unique bond, but now war and the circumstances stemming from it have separated the duo. Told from the alternating viewpoints of Peter and Pax, this beautiful and haunting story follows their independent struggles to return to one another against all odds . . .
Destined to become a beloved classic, Pax is a beautifully wrought and utterly compelling novel about the essential truths that define us and the devastating costs of war.
“Pennypacker’s expert, evenhanded storytelling reveals stunning depth in a relatively small package.” -- Booklist
