The Bear House By: Meaghan McIsaac

Genre: Fantasy
Age Recommendation: Grade 7/8

The Bear House is a Red Maple 2023 nominee.  The first few chapters of this book set the stage for an exciting battle for control of the kingdoms of the Bear Highen.  The reader should not be discouraged by the slow pace of these chapters.  After these chapters, the reader is quickly taken on an exciting journey, meeting leaders from the Bear House, Shadow Dragon House and House of the Hounds.  Deceit is a foot and there is a plot to take over from the rightful rulers of each house. The youngest members of each household soon find themselves fighting for their lives and for what is true and good.  This story has magic, spirits, friendship and finds unlikely characters facing and conquering unexpected and difficult challenges. I highly recommend this book, especially to fans of fantasy.
