Det är en lika viktig som magnifik läsning – detta är en bok som visar respekt för både sina rävar och sina unga läsare. DNPeter och räven Pax har varit oskiljaktiga i fem år, ända sedan Peter hittade den lilla rävungen övergiven i skogen. När Peters pappa en dag tar värvning i armén skickas Peter för att bo hos sin farfar, femtio mil hemifrån. Pax får inte följa med. Peter tvingas lämna honom i skogen, trots att Pax aldrig levt utan människor. Redan första kvällen hos sin farfar ångrar Peter att han gått med på att lämna Pax. Han packar en ryggsäck, smyger ut i natten och ger sig av för att leta rätt på sin räv. Trots att kriget kommer allt närmare. Samtidigt väntar Pax tålmodigt på att Peter ska komma tillbaka. Men hunger och törst driver honom till slut att lämna platsen där han senast såg sin pojke. En stark berättelse om vänskapens kraft – om kampen för att återförenas, mot alla odds. Med stämningsfulla illustrationer av Jon Klassen. Sara Pennypacker har skrivit sjutton böcker för barn och unga, bland annat de bästsäljande böckerna om Clementina. Jon Klassen är prisbelönt illustratör och bilderboksförfattare som bland annat gjort Jag vill ha min hatt och Det är inte min hatt. Min vän Pax är en fin bok att läsa högt tillsammans. Christina Wedenmark, BTJBoken är precis som räven Pax själv: halvvild och underbart vacker. New York Times Book ReviewRörande och poetisk. Kirkus ReviewsDet är en välskriven och tät historia, fint kompletterad av Klassens sparsmakade illustrationer. Den är mörk och full av sorg och förtvivlan och behandlar svåra ämnen som krig, våld och död. Men där finns också ljus i mörkret och hopp, och är allt som allt storslagen läsning.

Waylon has lots of ideas for making life more awesome through science, like teleportation, human gills, and attracting cupcakes by controlling gravity. But it's impossible for him to concentrate on his inventions when he's experiencing his own personal Big Bang. Arlo Brody is dividing the fourth grade boys into two groups. Waylon would rather be friends with everyone. Well, everyone except the scary new kid, Baxter Boylen. Waylon's older sister, Neon, is shooting away from the family. He wishes everything would go back to the way it was before she started wearing all black and saying "What's the point?" all the time. Just when it looks as though Waylon's universe is exploding, something happens to bring it all together again, and it is, without a doubt, One Awesome Thing.
