It is half realistic fiction and half fantasy. In the wild, foxes communicate using body language, which would explain why they speak in italics. However, they would not have words for the language they used.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagrees, all animals communicate together and the author is just translating it so that us humans can understand it and so that the story makes sense.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the way the foxes communicate with each other is believable. The foxes have to have some way to communicate to each other in real life, and in the book it seems pretty realistic. The humans can't understand what the foxes are saying, just like in real life. When humans talk, it is in quotation marks, but when the foxes are talking to each other, their words are is in italics. That makes it not necessarily fantasy. It is realistic fiction.

I believe that this is realistic fiction because foxes can communicate and because these quotes are in italics and not quotation marks which makes this not necessarily fantasy

Pax needs to tap into his wild side because he needs to be able to find Peter by being by himself in the wild and not relying on Peter for food and protection. He needs to join with other foxes and understand how they survive. Peter needs to tame his wild side because he is only a child and he needs help to find Pax. He needs to start calming down and looking for Pax in an orderly manner.

Drew

I think Pax needs to 'tap into' his wild side because he is not with Peter anymore so he needs to learn how to survive by using his wild side.  He can do this by observing what other foxes do and copy them.  Peter needs to tame his wild side because he is a human and if other people see him using his wild side something bad might happen. Peter can do this by acting like a normal human and
doing what he normally does.

I think this means that you can not assume something is not happening just because it is not happening to you because their are other people in the world that it might be happening to.
Kamryn

Pax needs to 'tap into' his wild side so he can survive  on his own as he looks for Peter. He does this by associating with other wild foxes. He also needs to tame his wild side so he can behave when he is around Peter.

It is realistic fiction because there are no quotation marks, but instead there are italics.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Pax needs to tap into his wild side because he's always been a tamed fox, but now he needs to step it up a little to survive in the wild. I think Pax can tap into his wild side by learning the ways of Gray and the other foxes.
Brady

Maybe the other foxes will teach Pax how to be wild.
Ashley, Stacie, Emili

I think it is realistic fiction, but I don't know how the foxes communicate in real life.
Avary

# data[].attributes.body
It is realistic fiction because the foxes are thinking together.
Riley

This book is realistic fiction because Pax is not talking.

It is realistic fiction because it is the foxes' way of communication.
Ella, Karsen, and Grace

What do you think about how the foxes communicate with each other? Does it seem believable to you as a reader? Is this a fantasy, or is it realistic fiction?

# data[].attributes.body
Pax needs to "tap into" his wild side. Why? How does he do this?

Conversely, Peter needs to tame his wild side. Why? How does he do this?

Trevor!!

I think the relationship between Pax  and Peter is so special because they were together when Pax was little.
Karsen

# data[].attributes.body
I think Pax is feeling afraid  because he does not have Peter with him.
I think Peter is concerned because he does not know if Pax is doing well in the forest.
Zachary

Just because  we  don't  know  anyone who has a pet fox doesn't mean nobody can have one .
Jessica  and Riley.

Peter loves and cares for Pax, and is very attached to him. Pax is very hopeful that Peter will come back for him!

Brady

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Pax  has  big relationship with Peter because Peter saved Pax from starving to death like his brothers and sisters

-Lucas

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe that saying relates to something further on in the story

Emili, Stacie, Ashley.

# data[].attributes.body
Peter is restless because he doesn't know where Pax is!

Matthew!

I think that they have spent most of their life together since Peter saved Pax.

-Avary

Pax is confused that Peter is gone.Peter is determined to find him. Peter and Pax are both lonely

Just because there isn't a war by us doesn't mean there is one somewhere else.
PETER

# data[].attributes.body
I think the relationship between Pax and Peter is that they are always together no matter what. If they aren't together, they want to be.

-Ella

# data[].attributes.body
Peter is very thoughtful about Pax .  He will even travel on his own to try and find Pax

Colton

I think that this means that even if you haven't experienced something it may still be happening somewhere.

SR
This phrase is used in the story. For example, when Pax was alone in the forest, he was lonely and had no food. Meanwhile, Peter was in his house with food and family.

I think this means that if something is not happening where you are does not mean that it is not happening it is not happening somewhere else in the world.
Tony

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this quote means that even though something isn't happening where we are it could be happening somewhere else in the world and affecting someone else. For example when Pax and  Peter are apart something might happen to Peter but not to Pax.
Aila

# data[].attributes.body
I think this means that if something is not happening where you are, that doesn't mean that it is not happening somewhere else.This means that if there was a tornado alert near you, but it doesn't get to your exact location, that doesn't mean it isn't happening somewhere else.
Rishab

Pax has instincts of Peter venturing out to find him and Peter has instincts to know that Pax will be waiting on the side of the road for Peter.
Emmett

# data[].attributes.body
I think Pax and Peter's relationship is very strong.
I believe this because Peter says that he can see things from Pax's point of view. Pax knows that Peter will come back for him and Peter knows he will stay at the place they dropped Pax off.
Some common character traits I saw were when they dropped Pax off both of them were feeling scared.

Athulya

I think this quote means that even though something out of the isn't happening to you doesn't or someone around you or someone around you doesn't mean it isn't happening to someone you don't see or know.
Courtney

# data[].attributes.body
Peter and Pax are both perserverant. Pax waits day and night for Peter to come for him, while Peter sets out to find Pax, vowing not to stop until he finds him.
Claire

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this quote means that Peter and Pax are having two different adventures/problems, but they are always thinking of each other. Peter may be having a hard time, while Pax is not, but they are both thinking of each other, and wondering if the other is okay.
Katie

# data[].attributes.body
The meaning of that quote is that if you are not doing something yourself it doesn't mean it isn't happening somewhere else
Emmett

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it means that an event could be happening in another place even though it isn't happening where you are.
Ella

# data[].attributes.body
"Just because it isn't happening here doesn't mean it isn't happening." I think that this means that even if something isn't happening here the event could be happening somewhere else.

Athulya

Pax is a very curios fox. He is blind to the way the real world works and is easily amazed.
Peter is a boy who is learning that in order to do the right thing he must show the hidden side of him that is brave. A character trait that he just might not be able to overcome is that he is very nervous. Still either way he will always be loving and determined.
I think that Peter and Pax have a very strong relationship, and without each other they would not feel like themselves.
-Victor

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Peter and Pax both feel like they need to be together. They are both very curious and very anxious and care deeply for each other.

AJ

# data[].attributes.body
They are both very loyal, caring and loving to each other. They are also very desperate to get each other back.

Zoe

# data[].attributes.body
I think this means that even if it isn't happening in one place, it may be happening somewhere else. What's happening, maybe causing a problem for someone else.

Ava

# data[].attributes.body
I think it means that even though you are not doing something right now at this place, it does not mean that somebody else in the world is not doing it.

Zoe

# data[].attributes.body
I think this means that even if you don't know what's happening or it's not happening to you doesn't mean it's not happening somewhere else to someone else. Basically, it means: Even if it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it isn't affecting something.

Rosalyn

# data[].attributes.body
Pax and Peter feel they need each other. Without Pax Peter feels he is not complete and he feels he has lost a best friend. Their connection is that Peter found Pax when he was very young and so Pax does not know how to live without a human friend and Peter knows that and wants to protect Pax.
Charlie

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Pax and Peter are similar in that they both are very caring and they are curious. This helps to give them an amazing connection in that they almost always know where the other one is.

Drew

# data[].attributes.body
I think this phrase means that if you think something's not going to happen, it could be happening somewhere else.

AJ

# data[].attributes.body
I think the phrase "Just because it isn't happening here doesn't mean it isn't happening." means that you think it will never happen to you or your community, but it is happening to other things and people or other communities.

Oliver

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this means that sometimes you don't notice that something is going on just because it is not happening near you. Sometimes people are not aware of their surroundings.

Drew

# data[].attributes.body
I think this phrase means that just because something is not happening to you or you can't see happening doesn't mean it isn't happening to someone else in the world.
