PAX- Sara Penny Packer

Pax, (the fox) and Peter, (the boy who found him) after they met each other, they have inseparable. From the day Peter recused Pax as a kit. But one day, Peter’s dad enlists in the military and makes him return Pax to the wild. He goes to his grandfathers house three hundred miles away. He knows he isn’t where he’s suppose to be. With his best friend Pax. He yearns to be back with his fox, and be reunited. Pax is waiting for him, making adventures and discoveries along the way as he’s not reunited with Peter.

I liked this book since it taught me to always cherish the moments you have with family members or friends. You never know what can happen. At any time. Also, this book showed pictures of some scenes. I am more of visual learner, so this really made me understand more of the book.

My favorite character is Peter. He is humble. One quote to demonstrate this is, ‘ “ The boy looked at his father for a long moment, his eyes streaking again. And then he dried his face with the neck of his T-shirt and nodded. He reached into his jeans pocket and withdrew an old plastic soldier, fox’s favorite toy.” ’

My favorite quote is, “Sometimes the apple rolls very far from the tree.” This quote is meaningful to me because, it means children are like their parents. Although this quote is sad, I reminds me of how in the book, When Peter, let his fox go, he knew why he had to. He knew that sometime they would reunite or find a way to connect to each other. They were both torn.
