This sequel to the well-known children’s book, PAX, returns listeners to the world of Peter and his pet fox, Pax, who were separated by war. Here narrator Michael Curran-Dorsano transitions seamlessly between timeframes and points of view. A year after Pax and Peter’s separation, Curran-Dorsano recounts Pax’s joyful welcoming of fox cubs into the world. But his tone for Peter, now an orphan, reflects the boy’s sadness and confusion. When Peter joins Water Warriors, a group bent on repairing the war’s ecological damage, Curran-Dorsano reflects his surprise at encountering young people who can love after loss. Eventually, Pax is brought back into the life of his boy, and Peter is impacted by Pax’s trust and love. The story and its narration make for a poignant sequel. S.W.

From award-winning author Sara Pennypacker comes the long-awaited sequel to Pax; this is a gorgeously crafted, utterly compelling novel about chosen families and the healing power of love. A New York Times bestseller!
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.
When one of Pax's kits falls desperately ill, he turns to the one human he knows he can trust. And no matter how hard Peter tries to harden his broken heart, love keeps finding a way in. Now both boy and fox find themselves on journeys toward home, healing-and each other, once again.
As he did for Pax, Jon Klassen, New York Times bestseller, Caldecott medalist, and two-time Caldecott Honoree, has created stunning jacket and interior illustrations.
