Pax by Sara Pennypacker (Learning Lounge - 02/10/2018)

Every year the Learning Lounge gets gifted 5 sets of wonderful books which are considered modern classics.

To celebrate these awesome novels we have created the Booktrust challenge. If you want to take part its simple:

1. Pick up a Booktrust Challenge.

2. Read the book and answer the 10 questions.

3. If you are one of the first 6 to complete the challenge you will be rewarded with 25 credit points and an LL goody bag/ free book!

The fifth and final Booktrust challenge (this year) to grace our shelves, is a book called 'Pax'. This book follows a young boy and his pet fox through a turbulent war infested setting. It explores meeting new people, dealing with loss and ultimately accepting change. Told through both the boy and the fox's perspectives you will be left wanting for more and maybe with a tear in you eye.

What's STOPPING YOU? Come grab your copy today and be whisked away into a world of friendship.

Pax by Sara Pennypacker​​

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. . . .
