Ilustration Supposing Books The Bear

A powerfully suspenseful story narrated by a young girl who must fend for herself and her little brother after a brutal bear attack.

While camping with her family on a remote island, five-year-old Anna awakes in the night to the sound of her mother screaming. A rogue black bear, 300 pounds of fury, is attacking the family's campsite, pouncing on her parents as prey.

At her dying mother's faint urging, Anna manages to get her brother into the family's canoe and paddle away. But when the canoe dumps the two children on the edge of the woods, and the sister and brother must battle hunger, the elements, and a dangerous wilderness, we see Anna's heartbreaking love for her family -- and her struggle to be brave when nothing in her world seems safe anymore.

Told in the honest, raw voice of five-year-old Anna, this is a riveting story of love, courage, and survival.

Crit Of Books The Bear

I didn't like this. Child narrators are hard to get right, I just didn't enjoy it.Got bored with all the flashbacks, skimmed over a lot. Found it annoying and distracting. 5 years old was maybe just too young a narrator for me to get into.

Reading this evoked a whole new level of fear in me as a parent. What would happen to your child in the immediate aftermath of a deadly accident? If you were with your small child in an isolated area and you were killed what would happen to your child? My son is the same age as Stick (almost 3) so this story really struck me on a deep emotional level.Written entirely from the perspective of a 5-year-old it was difficult at first to get into it due to Anna's meandering thoughts and observations.

(This is from an electronic advanced reader copy from Netgalley, via the publisher. This book will be on sale February 11, 2014.)I guess I need to start by addressing my strange and urgent need to to read this novel. I saw a blurb and a link to Ms. Cameron's website for this book somewhere on my daily literary travels on the internet, and just felt a desire to obtain and read a copy of this book immediately. Something about a wild animal/predatory attack on a human has always fascinated me and



More like 3.5 starsAt the beginning of this book the author tells you that this book has happened. It just didn't involve the children. That puts in the back of your mind what can happen with bears.The story is from the point of view of 5 year old Anna. Her parents are attacked by a bear on the family camping trip. Her father puts her and her 2 year old brother "Stick" into Coleman (the family's cooler) when the bear attacks and it saves their lives.The author does a wonderful job of putting you

5-year-old Anna and her 3-year-old brother Alex (Stick) survive a bear attack during a family camping trip. Anna tries to keep them alive and safe after their parents are killed. This book was narrated by Anna. While I applaud the author for taking on this ambitious point-of-view, the voice of this character did not work for me. Anna narrated more like a 3-year-old than a child who is almost six. Not only didn't it ring true, but it was annoying and confusing. The story itself was kind of a let

Child narrators under the age of 10 are tricky to say the least. It can be so easily flubbed and come off as gimmicky or inauthentic. Mostly, I'm not a fan. Louis CK's rant about children and their secrets beautifully sums up the why for me. So this book, with its five-year old narrator Anna, is going to fail or succeed depending on your acceptance of the childish, stream-of-consciousness storytelling style. Anna is in the grips of some nasty peril after just losing both her parents to a bear
