A boy and a bear go to sea, equipped with a suitcase, a comic book and a ukulele. They are only travelling a short distance and it really shouldn’t take long. But their journey doesn’t quite go to plan…Faced with turbulent storms, a terrifying sea monster and the rank remains of a very dangerous sandwich, the odds are against our unlikely heroes. Will the Harriet, their trusted vessel, withstand the violent lashings of the salty waves? And will anyone ever answer their message in a bottle? Brilliantly funny and tender, this beautiful book maps the growth of a truly memorable friendship and explores how, when all else is lost, the most unexpected joys can be found.

A strange, funny and interesting book. My favourite character is the bear because in almost every situation he's calm. I would highly recommend this book.

This was fiction or bears can talk. It is a very funny book and I think that this suitable for ages 7±.

I liked this book because it was intrigued by the fact that the bear could speak, and had his own tea time schedule. I would recommend this book to readers who like cliff hanger. This book is Non-Fiction, fantasy

This is a very good book my whole class read it including my teacher because it was such a good book it's about a boy who goes with a bear on boat and they have an adventure and it's also very funny and someone in my class sad they were sad the story ended because it was such a good book but at the end most of my class didn't like something but apart from that the book is amazing I think whoever is reading this if they read the book they might dislike it to but this book is nice for girls and boys.Enjoy.
