A fascinating and mesmerizing exploration of the child psyche, The Bear is a survival story unlike any other, one that asks what it takes to survive in the wilderness and what happens when predation comes from within . . .
Told in the innocent and honest voice of a young child, The Bear is a transporting tale about love, courage, and the raw instincts that enable us to survive.
“A gripping, affecting story that reads like a hybrid of Henry James’ What Maisie Knew and Margaret Atwood’s Survival, The Bear serves as a reminder that the quest for survival doesn’t end with rescue, and that children are not alone in venturing into terrain far more treacherous than they can ever know.” -- Maclean’s
