Great Bear Lake

Author: Erin Hunter

Continuing from the last book, Seekers The Quest Begins; Lusa, Toklo, Ujurak, and Kallik made it to the Great Bear Lake, the meeting place for all types of bears on the longest day of the year.

Kallik, the white bear, finds the meeting place of the other white bears for the longest day. She soon finds her brother and realizes her mother would not be happy with his actions. Taqqiq and his friends wanted to take the black bear territory to find food. Later on, her brother Taqqiq and his friends capture a black bear cub named Miki.

Meanwhile, Toklo was with Ujurak when an old enemy challenges him to swim to Paw Print Island to spend the longest day of the year. But deep inside Toklo is afraid to swim. He finds his courage and made it to Paw Print Island. Then he claims it as his territory. The brown bears believe Toklo’s act of courage will allow the bear spirits to bring them food.

All of the bears are brought together when Lusa meets another black bear named Miki. When Miki is captured Lusa finds Toklo and Ujurak to help save Miki. Lusa also meets a white bear, Kallik who wants to help save Miki. Together they come up with a plan and save Miki from the other white bears.

At the end of this story, Toklo, Ujurak, Lusa, Kallik, and Taqqiq realize they all face the same challenges to survive. Every bear needs food and water. The flat faces are slowly taking over their forests. So, they all become friends and head off for their next journey to the place where the bear spirits dance in the sky.
