“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.

‘A dazzling debut … A magical, confidently told story … I predict a roaring success’ The Times

A wonderful story, full of hope and underlining the power of the individual in making a difference… Themes of love, loss, climate change and the wonders of nature are strong. I found it a little sickly sweet and beyond-believable at times though. I understand it’s fiction, but it didn’t succeed in suspending my disbelief and I found myself frustrated. Definitely for the younger end of middle grade.

A story for our times…
