The Last Bear?

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 listeners in grades three to seven, this fierce celebration of friendship includes information about the real Bear Island and the plight of the polar bears.
