The Great Bear By: David A. Robertson

Genre: Fantasy
Age Recommendation: Grade 5+

The Great Bear is the sequel to The Barren Grounds and finds Eli and Morgan back in Misewa on another adventure.  This time Morgan and Eli travel into the past so they can spend time with their beloved Ochek.  While there, they discover that the Bear they know and love is destructive and hurtful in the past.  The pair work with the villagers to change this and improve life for all.  This book is exciting and interesting.  I would recommend reading The Barren Grounds first as there are elements of this book that will be confusing if not.  The book leaves us with a cliff hanger, so we will have to read the third book, The Stone Child, to satisfy our curiosity.
