About this item

This sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Pax is another powerful and timeless tale of a boy, a fox, and the unshakeable bonds of found family, from award-winning author Sara Pennypacker and Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen. It’s been a year since Peter and his pet fox, Pax, have seen each other. Once inseparable, they now lead very different lives. Pax and his mate, Bristle, have welcomed a litter of kits they must protect in a dangerous world. Meanwhile, Peter—newly orphaned after the war, racked with guilt and loneliness—leaves his adopted home with Vola to join the Water Warriors, a group of people determined to heal the land from the scars of the war.
