When a young polar bear is abandoned by his mother, he must fend for himself. With the ice melting and an ever changing Arctic World, Waluk is very luck to find Manitok, a wise old bear who takes him under his wing. When his friend gets taken by humans, however, will Waluk’s new learned skills be enough to find a way to save his friend?


A touching story of friendship and survival. The illustrations are life-like and enjoyable. The text is simple, but not condescending. Readers who enjoy survival stories, adventures, and polar bears will enjoy reading this book. EL. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
