Seekers: Last Wilderness

The book that I have just finished reading is Seekers: LastWilderness. The authors name is Erin Hunter. Erin Hunter has also write the Warriors series and the Survivor series. Personally I don’t like the Survivor series. I could get in to it. The Warrior series is good. Lots of action filled moments. In my opinion the Seekers books are the best that she has written. The thing that makes Erin Hinter such a good writer is that you get attached to the characters. When someone dies you feel like you knew them as well as all of their friends and family members. Not all writers can make you feel like you are apart of the family in the book. In this book Kallik, Toklo, Lusa, and Ujurak make it to the Last Great Wilderness, but something doesn’t seem right. The theme of this book is don’t judge a book by its cover. This is the theme because there are people who live in the Last Great Wilderness. When the bears first got there they thought the people where dangerous because all of the other people they ran into tried to kill them, but these people where nice.

               

When the bears arrive at the Last Wilderness they start exploring. After a while they start hunting because they are hungry. Toklo comes up with the idea that Ujurak turns into a geese (he is a shape shifter) and go into the middle of the flock then turn back into bear and catch some before they all fly away. The plan didn’t work out. When Ujurak shape shifts he has to fight to remember that he is a bear or else he stays the animal that he turned into. While he is a geese he fly’s off with the flock and they fly about 3-4 miles. The other bears try to follow him but they lose sight of him and just jog in the general direction the geese went. The geese land to eat and Ujurak swallows a fish hook. He turns into a bear and all the geese fly off then his friends find him and convince him to turn into a human so they can take him to the doctor that lives in the little village in the Wilderness. After a few days some people come and visit the village people and something doesn’t seem right.

               

I liked this book because you are at the end of your seat for the whole thing. This book is for people who like adventure and a little bit of mystery. I started reading this series when I was in 5th grade so I would say that 10 years and up are good ages to read this book.
