Synopsis

An instant classic with a bear-sized heart, Hannah Gold’s debut novel is a touching story of kindness,
adventure, and forging your own path—perfect for fans of Pax and A
Wolf Called Wander.
There are no polar bears left on
Bear Island. At least, that’s what April’s father tells her when his scientific
research takes them to a faraway Arctic outpost.
But one night, April catches a
glimpse of something distinctly bear shaped loping across the horizon. A polar
bear who shouldn’t be there—who is hungry, lonely and a long way from home.
An excellent choice for readers
in grades 3 to 7, this fierce celebration of friendship includes full-page
black-and-white illustrations throughout, as well as information about the real
Bear Island and the plight of the polar bears.

A very nice story that I've meant to read quite some time ago and finally did in a wonter with no snow. Life, sometimes, is funny.
