Pax and Peter have been inseparable ever since Peter rescued him as a kit. But one day, the unimaginable happens: Peter's dad enlists in the military and makes him return the fox to the wild.

At his grandfather's house, three hundred miles away from home, Peter knows he isn't where he should be—with Pax. He strikes out on his own despite the encroaching war, spurred by love, loyalty, and grief, to be reunited with his fox.

Meanwhile Pax, steadfastly waiting for his boy, embarks on adventures and discoveries of his own. . . .

Fantástico, que história linda... O amor sincero de uma criança para com seu bichinho de estimação, pode atravessar barreiras físicas e psicológicas, não importando que tipo de dor se esteja sentindo.

“Dois, mas não dois”.

4.5 stars. Some books for younger readers feel more like they're written for adults from the lens of youth. One of the most interesting and heartwrenching books I've read about war, adolescence, and what it means to be wild.

I understand the ending but also: working up until that final point to then undo it?
(super vague review because I don't want to spoil)
