What is The Bear : a Novel about?

Told from the point of view of a six-year-old child, The Bear is the story of Anna and her little brother, Stick - two young children forced to fend for themselves in Algonquin Park after a black bear attacks their parents. A gripping and mesmerizing exploration of the child's psyche, this is a survival story unlike any other, one that asks what it takes to survive in the wilderness and what happens when predation comes from within."A page-turner... Like Emma Donoghue's Room... The Bear creates suspense out of the gap between what Anna knows and what the reader suspects... The story is laced with humour and moments of joy and triumph as well as fear and sorrow... So gripping that it is hard to put the novel down." - Margaret Quamme, Columbus DispatchWhile camping with her family on a remote island, five-year-old Anna awakes in the night to the sound of her mother screaming. A rogue black bear, 300 pounds of fury, is attacking the family's campsite, pouncing on her parents as prey. At her dying mother's faint urging, Anna manages to get her brother into the family's canoe and paddle away. "A deeply sympathetic portrait of a Neanderthal girl struggling to survive some 40,000 years
