The Last Month

“Something had moved on the horizon, in the sun. It had happened in the blink of an eye. It had happened so fast that April had almost missed it. It was something big and striding and very unexpected. She blinked again. Whatever it was, it was gone.
But April could have sworn she had seen a polar bear.”

There are no more polar bears on Bear Island.

That’s what April’s father tells her when his research takes them to the Arctic for six months. But one night April sees the distinct shape of a bear move on the horizon. A polar bear that shouldn’t be there, hungry, alone, and far from home. A bear that has been left behind, just like April.

As their unlikely bond grows, April becomes determined to save her new best friend, and so begins the biggest, most important journey of her life.

A journey to save the bear… and maybe this is April’s chance to save herself, too…
