"Holy crap this is good. I thought it might be this cutesy story of a boy and his fox reuniting but it’s a lot more than that. Great read for adults and children alike, already starting the sequel XD"

"I can’t say I have a favorite part. I’ve read both Pax and Pax Journey Home. They’re both very good and had me tearing up. I really love the premise of the books. I bought them for my nieces and wanted to read them before I hand them over. I think these books can really help young ones feel understood during painful times but realize it can/will get better. "
