![]() ![]() ![]() Well, it was all the things I loved about those stories. This book, to me, was like Disney’s The Fox and the Hound meets John Boyne’s Stay Where You Are and Then Leave. Told from the alternating viewpoints of Peter and Pax. This is the story of Peter, Pax, and their independent struggles to return to one another against all odds. But before Peter makes it through even one night under his grandfather’s roof, regret and duty spur him to action he packs for a trek to get his best friend back and sneaks into the night. When the fox runs to retrieve it, Peter and his dad get back in the car and leave him there-alone. Peter listens to his stern father-as he usually does-and throws Pax’s favorite toy soldier into the woods. Far worse than being forced to leave home is the fact that Pax can’t go. Now the war front approaches, and when Peter’s father enlists, Peter has to move in with his grandpa. Pax was only a kit when his family was killed, and “his boy” Peter rescued him from abandonment and certain death. Balzer + Bray Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads From Goodreads ![]()
