The Last Bear novel
A poignant classic about kindness, adventure, and making your own path.
There are no polar bears left on Bear Island. At least, that's what April's father told her when they traveled together to this remote Arctic outpost to stay for six months.
But on a long, almost endless summer night, April meets a wounded bear. He was starving, and he was lonely and far from home.
Then April begins the most important journey of her life, determined to save him.
This touching story will capture the hearts of children all over the world, showing them that no one is too small to make a difference in life.
The Last Bear is a celebration of the love between a child and an animal, a wake-up call for our world, and an irresistible adventure with a heart as big as a bear.
