On September 28th, the eagerly anticipated and unmissable follow-up to the phenomenal bestselling and award winning The Last Bear is released. We hosted a competition on our Instagram, and the winner got an advanced copy of Finding Bear, courtesy of The Imaginarium, Hannah Gold and Harper Collins. The winners - in this case- were Emily and Oliver, who’s mum entered on their behalf.

Emily (aged 11) and Oliver (aged 9), loved the book and answered a few questions below.

What is the book about?
The book is about a girl called April who has a friend polar bear, and she travels to the Arctic to try and find him because she’s worried he’s in trouble. The book also tells us about the threats of climate change in the Arctic.

The Last Bear, published last year, is a wonderful and important book.

Finding Bear, follows up on April’s life with a return journey to Svalbard, where she must face her fears to protect a lost and in need animal.
