I was instantly mesmerised by this tale of courage, friendship and love and honestly didn’t want it to end. Well, this was such a moving, emotional read that tugged on my heartstrings several times throughout reading. Knowing she needs to do best for him, April sets out a plan to return him to his own kind for good. One night, when exploring April comes across a single, lonely Polar Bear, but that can’t be right as there are no bears on Bear Island? This Polar Bear is starving and a long way from home. April jumps at the chance to live in this remote area of the world with no school and an incredible space to explore. The Last Bear follows April, as she and her father are sent to Bear Island in the Arctic for six months, whilst her father works on his scientific research.
I had a feeling that I was going to be entranced and captivated by this tale, and well my hindsight was right.
However, after reading the synopsis I was instantly intrigued and longed to know more about this adventure of one young girl and one polar bear. The Last Bear was a book that I hadn’t even heard of before I received a gorgeous proof copy in the post unexpectedly. This moving story will win the hearts of children the world over and show them that no one is too young or insignificant to make a difference. The Last Bear is a celebration of the love between a child and an animal, a battle cry for our world and an irresistible adventure with a heart as big as a bear’s. Determined to save him, April begins the most important journey of her life… He is starving, lonely and a long way from home. But one endless summer night, April meets one. At least, that’s what April’s father tells her when his scientific research takes them to this remote Arctic outpost for six months. There are no polar bears left on Bear Island.
