Pax, Journey Home

I read this book and Pax too. They are very good children books with lots of excitement that makes you want to come back and read more.

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.

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.

Super cute book, but be aware there are some very sad parts in it.

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.

My 11 year old loved the book. Good read.

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.

I love this book so much! If you are on the fence about buying it, just order it! You'll love it!

Acabou de chegar, eu não sou de reclamar mas as páginas vieram desiguais, o acabamento muito ruim. Quando abri, achei q tinha deteriorado por causa do transporte mas não, o livro veio assim mesmo. Fiquei muito triste e arrependida. Tava muito ansiosa por ele. Pedi para trocar mas demorou tanto que preferi cancelar

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.

Daughter loves it

The media could not be loaded. O produto chegou rápido, más o acabamento do livro não é legal.

Great book. Easy read for younger kids
