My thoughts about it that it was so good I couldn't stop reading it was more interesting than the last bear and the fantasy was wonderful
Fantastic follow-up to The Last Bear.
I liked when she got lost from the group and started her own adventure with bear and peanut it was a great story Hannah Gold is my favourite author I have all her books
Heartwarming, but a bit too predictable.
A lovely heart-warming but heartbreaking story too.
It was about a girl called April and she went to the Arctic where she found her bear friend and is trying to save his cub.I think people who like adventures would like this book.
It broke my heart… only read with a packet of tissues - Boo hoo !
I love this book peanut the polar bear cub is my favourite character by far April wood is so brave to cross the glacier on bear’s back I would never do that
It’s an amazing follow up on the last bear peanut the polar cub is so cute! He is my favourite character by far April is so brave to cross the thin ice on bears back
Okay where do I start oh the illustrations are amazing that it leaves me speechless and the characters are designed and described incredible
I love that it’s a story of friendship

It was amazing.
I liked April because even though she had left the Arctic she still had a part of her there.
I really liked when bear had a little cub. It was sad in parts but I really enjoyed it!
Best book I've ever read!
A brilliant follow up to The Last Bear. A great way to highlight climate change and it’s effects

So, I felt like when I just saw his book, it would be just right for me.And when I was reading it, it changed my mind, to stop killing polar bears.To protect them in fact.So I felt emotional.
A huge shout out to Hannah Gold. The language she used is outstanding, and she has another bestseller yet! An astonishingly beautiful piece of work, and has anyone’s attention! And Levi Pinfolds pictures are the most talented illustrations I’ve probably ever seen. This book has everything!!!
This book was so inspirational for me as April went back to see bear wondering if he was still okay after he got shot. After April got there she was determined to get there and never gave up. She helped bear with his little cub too. The perseverance with this girl is amazing showing that even the smallest things you do make such a big difference. Highly recommend this book to anyone above the age of 8.
I adore Hannah Gold’s books, they are brilliant thought provoking and motivating and I cry every time! Read this in less than 3 hours as I couldn’t put it down. Would recommend wholeheartedly
I love this book
I would say if you’re in year 4 this is a great read
A lot of description and heart warming, help understand to protect climate change.
This is a brilliant sequel to The Lost Bear.
Amazing!!
After absolutely falling in love with the first book "The Last Bear", I was hesitant to read the sequel. However, I loved it just as much. The characters are surprisingly believable (considering it's about a girl being friends with a polar bear) and I think these are books that should be shared with every class. They teach the importance of caring for our environment and the consequences of our actions on wildlife should we not. Incredibly beautiful book (story and the gorgeous illustrations by Levi Pinfold!)
It was amazing even though it took me 5 days to read!
I liked this book because it was adventures also I enjoyed the friendship and journey the book took me on
My 2ND favrite book
