Best part of story, including ending: What I liked most about this story was the bears fight for survival. The bears have a hard life without their parents but have the strength to survive on their own.

Best scene in story: My favorite part of the book was when they all meet at the end. They were all main characters so their meeting was a critical moment.

Opinion about the main character: What I liked most about Kallik was that she was a strong bear. She lost her family but still found a will to survive.
