Pax

by Sara Pennypacker

Ages 9–12 Reading age 10 Novel Set in outdoors and wild places movingthoughtful

Made to release his pet fox at the roadside because his father is going to war, Peter walks three hundred miles back to find him.

A story about children and animals, moving and thoughtful in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Worth knowing before you buy

None of this makes it a bad book — often the opposite. It is here so you can decide whether it is right for your child now or in a year or two.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
