title: The Bear: A Novel
author:  Claire Cameron 
description: When a young couple in Canadas Algonquin Park gets mauled and partially eaten by a black bear in 1991, its a tragedy. When Cameron, who once worked at the park, researches and decides to write about this true story but adds the kids, its a novel. In The Bear, the protagonist is a five-year-old girl, Anna, who must, after her parents are attacked, save herself and the life of her two-year-old brother, Stick, by canoeing to the mainland and surviving days in the wildernessa harrowing time she shares with the reader in a sort of youngster stream of consciousness: If I threw a ball into the water he would not jump off a dock just wag wag wag. Theres touchingly voiced courageousness here and, with her sibling, talk of poo as well as the occasional, implausible preschooler sentiment: I need a fire inside my bones. From the conception to the execution, the book is an exploration of anguish from a childs point of view, shaded and shaped by Cameron (The Line Painter, 2007). --Eloise Kinney
