A Bear Named Trouble

<< Prev page

Marion Bauer

Ten-year-old Jonathan lives with his father, who has moved up to Anchorage to be keeper at the Alaska Zoo. Jonathan is lonely for his mother and sister, who are staying behind in Minnesota until school gets out in June. Little does Jonathan know that a young brown bear feels the same way he does. The bear is separated from his mother, too, and is heading toward Anchorage, lost, alone, and hungry. When boy and bear meet up, trouble and triumph await them both.

This exciting story is based on a true incident with a bear named Trouble, who was rescued by the Alaska Zoo. It is about a young boy's choices and decisions, the havoc he creates by acting impulsively, and how he must reap the consequences of his actions and think of others beside himself. Bauer's thought-provoking and inspiring book is a great one for young people to tackle reading on their own. The issues that arise -- the challenges present when wild animals enter urban environments, and the connection between a growing boy and a growing bear -- are educational and inspiring. This is a book for everyone in the family to enjoy.

International Shipping:

We hope to offer you international ordering online soon. In the meantime, you may call 619-670-5200, fax 619-670-5203, or email us at customerservice@chinaberry.net with your order to find out what your shipping charge would be. If you are having your order shipped internationally, UPS requires that you include a phone number for them to contact for delivery information.

We ship international orders (except Canadian) via UPS International Air courier only. While this ensures your order will arrive very quickly (3-5 business days), it is also very expensive. (Shipping generally begins at about $50.00 for a one pound package and goes up with weight.)

As an affordable alternative, many of our international customers have their orders shipped to a friend or relative in the U.S who will forward the orders on to them.
