• Sommario/riassunto: Three bears; one incredible journey to the ends of the Earth. The remarkable follow-up series to the New York Times best-seller, Warriors. When the land comes to an end, Kallik, Toklo, Lusa and Ujurak venture on to the ice as a new path spreads out before them. But the ice is more dangerous than the bears expect, and all must put their trust in Kallik's paws as they struggle to survive the bitter cold. Just when they think they'll never make it, an encounter with a mystical star-bear means different things for each of the cubs - but brings the same message: All will be well, if they go to the place where the sun rises . . . The fifth magical instalment of Erin Hunter's Seekers series. Seekers explores profound environmental themes through the eyes of those suffering at the hands of humans in six epic fantasy books. Animal stories for both boys and girls touching on the wonder, savagery and fragility of the natural world.
