Review
"Pax the book is like Pax the fox: half wild and wholly beautiful."--New York Times Book Review
"Pennypacker's expert, evenhanded storytelling reveals stunning depth in a relatively small package."--Booklist (starred review)
"A startling work of fiction that should be read-and discussed-by children and adults alike."--School Library Journal (starred review)
"Pennypacker's elegant language and insight into human nature spin a fable extolling empathy above all. By the novel's poignant ending, Pennypacker has gently made the case that all of us should aspire to that view--children and adults alike."--Time magazine
"A sweeping and enchanting wartime story of trust, loyalty, betrayal, and the love of a boy for the fox he's raised since he was a kit. A master storyteller, Pennypacker leads the reader along a path of shifting hopes to the story's heart-wrenching conclusion."--Ann M. Martin, Newbery Honoree, author of Rain Reign
"Pax is set in an unspecified time and place so that the details of the war are unimportant. What is prime is the graceful but haunting story of boy and fox--their relationship set against man-made chaos."--Columbus Dispatch
"A book that is as much about dealing with loss as it is about how people change and affect the world around them."An Entertainment Weekly Best Middle Grade Book of 2016--Entertainment Weekly
"Moving and poetic."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"In an exceptionally powerful, if grim story, Pennypacker does a remarkable job of conveying the gritty perspective of a sheltered animal that must instantly learn to live in the wild."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An emotional, thought-provoking story of conflict, loyalty, and love."--The Horn Book
