Review

Lasky is a master of animal fantasy, this book will not disappoint. Like her other books about the kingdoms of Ga'Hoole the storyline is compelling while the characters appear almost human. In this first of a new series, two uniquely talented young bears are left alone to survive in the artic. Not only do they rise to the occasion but they will constantly surprise the reader. Action, adventure, companionship, love,and loyalty enrich a fun fantasy for kids.

Intermediate readers may have already found this on library and bookstore shelves. If not they will soon be on the waiting list so librarians need to purchase this and the second book of Lasky's newest series. Thanks to Maxime Plasse for the excellent map.

Overall Book Score: very good
