With emotional moments and a mystery to solve, this has probably been one of my favourite books so far and is so inspiring. It’s up there on my list, and I cannot wait to read the next in the series, and I’m thinking about doing it for world book day. This is a shout out to pollution, and how we can save the planet!

I wanted to read this as I love polar bears - I was attracted by the cover. It is a really good story.

April, because she really believes that bears are still alive. Her Dad told her there are none left, until she sees one out of the window

The story is really powerful because it shows how April tries everything she can to save the bear, even when nobody else believes in her. I liked April because she’s brave, determined, and doesn’t give up, even when things get really tough. She finds a way to communicate with the bear, and they form a special bond that feels very real.

Unfortunately this book is not as marvellous as other titles by this author and I personally was rather disappointed. However this book was quite good and merits its three stars. The story line is imaginative but it is my opinion that the author took many chapters to transmit simple points. However I enjoyed the wonderful descriptions and similes which are scattered throughout the book and many of which are really very touching.

This book was full of emotions, action and deep characters. It was descriptive and the way the book was written is wonderful. It was about a young girl who wanted to spend time with her farther when they went to the arctic circle. While there, the girl befriended the last polar bear on the island. At the end, she has to say goodbye to Bear (she called him that) once she returned him to his home.

Love the characters, love how the child helps the bear find his way.

I really liked this book because it was very exciting and thrilling. I would recommend this book to someone who likes bears and any animals in the sea

This was such an amazing book, it almost made me cry. The main character, April, finds herself a bit lonely with a busy father and no friends. Despite her little size, she is determined to make a noise and raise awareness of climate change. Because of her father’s work, they move temporarily to Bear Island, which is a real island just outside of the Arctic Circle. There are said to be no polar bears left due to the melting ice caps on this island, but April does not believe it. She finds the last polar bears and builds an unlikely bond that leads her to send him to his true home, and finally says goodbye. Definitely read this, you will love it whoever you are.

I love this book. It was actually one of my friends that recommended it to me. I think Bear is really clever and sometimes I wish I could hug him just like April. I really recommend it to anyone else who loves animals.
