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 best seller!

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 best seller, Caldecott medalist, and two-time Caldecott Honoree, has created stunning jacket and interior illustrations.

It has bad bookbinding. This is the second time, much better than the first one. When I had the replacement, I wondered this might be the design, but I checked the Amazon review and read the same issues.I will not replace it anymore..pics are the first order and the replacement.

I read Pax a long time ago and loved it but hesitated to read this one because most of the time sequels aren't as good. Well, I was wrong! It's just as good. Some serious subjects with more life lessons. This book continues Peter and Pax's story and brings them closure. It feels complete now and I'm so happy I finally decided to read it. If u liked the first book u will not be disappointed with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect read for the family.
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2021

I am so pleased with this read, and no spoilers but the sequel, in my opinion, is even better. My kids loved this as a read aloud. We had such fantastic discussions. The themes of grief and regret (some might say war, but I’m not sure war is a theme as much as a circumstance which anchors to the theme) and how it affects children, hearts, adults, relationships, the body, etc. is so well woven and easily perceived while also being very contemplative, thus the ‘good for diverse ages’ comment. It’s true literature with deeper tones, but a story line that captures the reader without harming young readers with content that is out of place or shocking for shocking sake, in my opinion. Some reviews feel the author was vague in reference to war as far as why and where, etc. These readers may be wanting more historical literature rather than philosophical. Don’t let that scare you away with young readers (my five kids range from 8 to 16 and they all loved it), as I said this draws you in rightly with the kindred and relatable story + love between a pet and his boy. You will find yourself empathizing and relating to the themes even if you’ve never experienced the circumstances. I highly recommend this purchase, and I’ve received no incentive to do so.

This book was culturally relevant to what is going on in the world today and easy for students to understand. It not only talked about the war but, friendship, caring, loyalty and so much more. My 6th grade ELA students loved this book and so did I.

Probably good for ages 10+, a lot of older language. My student enjoyed the story. Has a good lesson about letting people be in your life and not pushing them away.

I absolutely loved the sequel to Pax. It was so heartwarming and truly a special and powerful story of the bond between Pax and "his human" and how love truly triumphs over every obstacle. What a wonderful story. If you loved Pax you will really love The Journey Home. Wish there were more books like this.

Well worth a read, especially if you have already read Pax. The story continues where it left off. The imagery and the way the author has written how the animals communicate is very well done. Although this is aimed at children I enjoyed it very much.
