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 is a beautiful story about a girl making friends with a polar bear. It's very moving and teaches you about climate change. It made me want to take care of the planet and learn more about how our actions are affecting animals.

This story was sad but it made me smile. There were some funny bits too. I liked how the polar bear was still like an animal, not a talking character.

It is amazing. I just loved this book too much. I don't want to say more.

I think it’s extremely emotional because at the end of the book when April has to say goodbye to bear, the author made it very tense.

It is good but is a bit babyish because the language is extremely simple. I would recommend it for 7-9 year olds.
