The story follows the Herculean journey of an adolescent bear during a long hot summer. His mission: to stay alive in the most uncomfortable and most challenging time of the year. His task will take five months. Food is not guaranteed; he may be forced to starve the entire time. His resourcefulness and courage will be tested in new ways. Never in this young bear’s life has the ice disappeared so quickly, and never before has the Bear spent these most difficult months without his mother.
