Aimed at readers between 9 and 12 years old, Pax and the Forgotten Pincher promises to challenge Pax and his friends in ways they could never have thought of. Can Pax survive another year at Scholastic Parliament? You’ll have to read to find out!
A New Year, New Challenges
Pax returns to Scholastic Parliament, hoping for a quieter second year. However, those hopes are quickly dashed when he stumbles upon a secret in the school’s basement. As if that weren’t enough, a mysterious new student begins to threaten his close friendship with Samuel, adding even more tension to what promises to be an already challenging year.
Outside the walls of Scholastic Parliament, New London is more dangerous than ever. Cyber-attacks and drone raids have intensified, creating a climate of fear and unrest. Amidst this chaos, Pax and his friends find themselves drawn into the underground resistance movement. Balancing schoolwork with a secret life dedicated to protecting New London is no easy task, and Pax must navigate a web of intrigue, deception, and danger—all while figuring out who he can truly trust.
A Gripping Tale of Friendship and Courage
Pax and the Forgotten Pincher continues the compelling narrative that began in Pax and the Missing Head. David Barker masterfully blends elements of dystopia, mystery, and friendship to create a story that is both thrilling and emotionally resonant. As Pax and his friends venture beyond the school grounds and into the heart of New London, readers will be on the edge of their seats, eager to uncover the secrets that lie within this richly imagined world.
In Barker’s own words: “Expect daring feats beyond the school grounds as Pax and his friends explore New London, plenty of action, and a few surprises.” This new instalment promises to deliver everything fans loved about the first book—along with new twists and challenges that will keep readers hooked from start to finish.
