Main Characters

• Lusa, Toklo, Kallik, and Ujurak

3
Toklo

• Toklo is a large male grizzly bear. He is
  usually grumpy and aggressive towards other bears
  but cares very much about his traveling
  companions. He and his mother were separated but
  he assumed she had abandoned him and he will not
  listen to anyone who tries to talk about his
  mother. He was born purely in the wild and has
  not encountered many flat faces.

4
Lusa

• Lusa is a small, female, black bear. She
  is very friendly but Toklo thinks she has bees in
  her brain. She was born in captivity in the Bear
  Bowl. She seems very brave for traveling with
  bears much larger than her. She is also a
  wonderful tree climber and she seems like she can
  just run straight up the trunk of the tree.

5
Kallik

• Kallik is the largest one in the
  foursome. She is a large, kind, polar bear who
  had never even dreamed of black and brown bears
  in her life. She is very nice but can be shy. Her
  mother was killed by an orca when she was very
  young and she was not ever properly taught how to
  hunt.

6
Ujurak

• Ujurak is a very unusual bear. Lusa,
  Kallik, and Toklo sometimes arent even sure he
  is a bear. He is a weird bear that has the power
  to read signs given to him by the spirits. He can
  also shape shift into any animate object.
  Although, he is usually always a grizzly bear. He
  is very nice and invites anyone with them on
  their journey to the Last Great Wilderness.

7
Setting

• The foursome take journeys through flat face
  dens, dark forests, open meadows, and foggy
  marshes. They are trying to reach the Last Great
  Wilderness, a place where all bears can live
  together in harmony. There is enough food,
  shelter, and land for every bear at the Last
  Great Wilderness. Toklo, Lusa, Kallik, and Ujurak
  are not only on a journey to the Last Great
  Wilderness and Everlasting Ice, but on a magical
  adventure of friendship.

8
Conflict

• The bears are in a struggle against rights
  and starvation. They must battle with rival bears
  for territory and fight over food for the sake of
  their lives. There are many troubles throughout
  the book including injuries, separation, and
  starvation.

9
Climax

• I think that the climax of the book is
  when all three bears meet up and start their
  journey. Since this book is part of a series, the
  climax is mostly the end of this book and the
  beginning of Seekers Smoke Mountain. All the
  bears meet up when Taquiq and a gang of
  misunderstanding male polar bears go to sabotage
  the black bear territory.

10
Resolution

• Toklo, Kallik, Lusa, and Ujurak win the
  fight against the gang of white bears and
  continue their journey to the Last Great
  Wilderness. They are wounded and Toklo is still
  uneasy about Kallik. They all proceed to the Last
  Great Wilderness and Everlasting Ice together.

11
Plot

• Young black bear Lusa has left the comfort of the
  zoo, determined to make her way in the wild. It
  is there that she encounters grizzly cub Toklo
  and a mysterious changing bear named Ujurak.
  Together, the cubs find themselves on a journey
  toward a mystical place, The Last Great
  Wilderness. Meanwhile, separated from her family,
  polar bear cub Kallik trusts her persistence to
  lead her on a path traveled by many other bears
  before her. At last, the four cubs meet at Great
  Bear Lake, a place where bears gather to
  celebrate the longest day. But all is not
  peaceful. Danger lurks beneath the calm surface
  of the lake, challenging them to the wildest
  experience of their lives.

Opinion/Recommendation

• This book is certainly a book for all
  ages. It is very exciting and good for
  adventurous readers. If you like to get really
  involved in books and cry when a character is
  hurt and jump for joy when the have succeeded,
  this is the book for you!
• This book was very good, indeed. It was
  very lovely. Erin Hunter is a wonderful author,
  as I have read many of his wonderful adventure
  novels from animals points of view.
