Stephen the Bookworm's Reviews > Finding Bear

The Last Bear by Hannah Gold was a wonderful book telling the story of April Wood rescuing a trapped and starving polar bear - despite numerous obstacles. April is back in this sequel and is even more headstrong and determined to fight for the plight of polar battles and battle against climate change. News reaches April and her father that a polar bear has been shot near the town of Svalbard. April is convinced it’s “ Bear” and with her father return to Norway with the aim of helping Bear. April’s determination to find Bear is palpable and at times she probably crosses the line of disregarding advice but her courage and commitment to save Bear takes her on a series of adventures - each showing the impact on global warming on the plight of polar bears. April is reunited with characters from the previous book. This is a rip- roaring tale ( no pun intended as Bear certainly roars a lot) and will be an exciting read for the 8 plus group. Plenty of nail- biting moments - a great sequel .
