“This is an important first novel, important for us, for polar bears, for the planet. It is deeply moving, beautifully told, quite unforgettable.”
Michael Morpurgo, Carnegie Medal–shortlisted author
An instant classic with a bear-sized heart, Hannah Gold's debut novel is a touching story of kindness,
adventure, and forging your own path—perfect for fans of Pax and A
Wolf Called Wander.
There are no polar bears left on
Bear Island. At least, that's what April's 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 shouldn't be there—who 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.
