The Last Bear
By Hannah Gold
Imagine making friends with a polar bear… The Last Bear is perfect for
readers of 8+, beautifully illustrated throughout by Levi Pinfold –
winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal and illustrator of Harry Potter 20th
anniversary edition covers.
“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.
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 this
remote Arctic outpost for six months. But one endless summer night,
April meets one. He is starving, lonely and a long way from home.
Determined to save him, April begins the most important journey of her
life…
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.
