From the author of Guardians of GaâHoole, ânature, magic, and legend combine to create a world like no otherâ in a tale of polar cubs on a rescue mission (Kirkus Reviews). For generations, the noble polar bears have ruled the Northern Kingdoms. But now, their society is on the brink of collapse. A group of power-hungry bears has seized control, and darkness is creeping across the snow. Cubs First and Second donât know any of this. Although theyâre twins, they couldnât be more different. First loves imagining stories, while his daring sister, Second, wants to live them. When their mother is taken prisoner, the cubsâ world falls apart. They know they have to rescue her, but how can two cubs whoâve barely learned to hunt survive a treacherous journey across the ice? Their only chance is to learn to trust each other andâeven more importantâtrust themselves. But survival is only the beginning. And soon, these two unlikely heroes find themselves at the heart of a battle unlike anything Gaâhoole has ever seen. âReaders will lose themselves in the life-and-death adventure of the cubs and succumb to human feelings of fear, loss, and hope . . .â âBooklist âA series opener that promises to deliver action and adventure.â âSchool Library Journal |
