One frosty night in 1940, Stefan was dragged out of bed, given 30 minutes to pack, and forced into a journey with an unknown destination.
The journey across wartorn Europe was longer and tougher than the Polish boy could ever have imagined. More than half a century later the story of how he lost his family, gained comfort from the company of a brown bear, and survived, makes a powerful impact on an English boy whose own mother has disappeared without trace.
Inspired by the touching and humorous true story of a bear cub adopted by soldiers, and based on the experiences of many children in World War II, the book moves with vivid intensity between present-day England and the ravaged Europe of World War II.
