An instant classic with a bear-sized heart, Hannah Goldâs debut novel is a touching story of kindness, adventure, and forging your own pathâperfect for fans of Pax and A Wolf Called Wander.
There are no polar bears left on Bear Island. At least, thatâs what Aprilâs father tells her when his scientific research takes them to a faraway Arctic outpost.
But one night, April catches a glimpse of something distinctly bear shaped loping across the horizon. A polar bear who shouldnât be thereâwho is hungry, lonely and a long way from home.
An excellent choice for readers in grades 3 to 7, this fierce celebration of friendship includes full-page black-and-white illustrations throughout, as well as information about the real Bear Island and the plight of the polar bears.
