Meet Thea and her Bear in this unforgettable middle-grade adventure from bestselling author Sarah Lean.  

A wintry animal story for readers aged 9+ that will warm your heart and take you on an adventure you will never forget. From the bestselling author of A DOG CALLED HOMELESS. This is the perfect story for fans of Michael Morpurgo, Lauren St John and Sara Pennypacker’s PAX.
 
It’s the Christmas holidays and Thea is looking forward to spending them with her father. She can tell him all about her plans to become a writer, and maybe he’ll buy her the typewriter she’s been dreaming of.

But when Thea arrives in Norway, everything feels . . . wrong. Her father is as distant as ever and now she has to share him with his new family: his girlfriend Inge and her children. Then Thea makes a surprising discovery. Deep in the snowy woods by the house, is a bear. He’s scared and hungry and he desperately needs Thea’s help.

When the town hears about a bear living in the woods, Bear’s life is in even greater danger. Thea needs to show everyone that he’s not dangerous – he’s a good bear – if she’s to save him.

Beautifully illustrated by award-winning illustrator Fiona Woodcock, the artist behind Abi Elphinstone’s The Snow Dragon.

‘Author Sarah Lean and illustrator Fiona Woodcock build a beautiful, wintery world for this story about family and friendship’ – The Scotsman

‘Sarah Lean’s beautifully written story about a lonely girl and a brown bear is a modern fairytale’ – Booktrust 

‘Beautifully written with lovely illustrations, this heart-warming animal story is a real delight – perfect for cosy winter reading’ – The Week Junior
