Saving the Ice Bear

In Viking-age Scotland, during a harsh winter, a boy named Fari discovers a polar bear cub that has washed ashore on a floating sheet of ice. He takes her in, raises her, and trains her to perform tricks, and the two grow close. As the young bear gets bigger, however, she can no longer stay in the family's house.

When the bear is forced out of his home, Fari sets out on a journey to rescue the animal he cares for. The story is a historical adventure for young readers, written by Susan Price. The book ends with reading notes and comprehension pages at the back to support guided reading.
