The Girl Who Speaks Bear!

Yanka lives in the village, but she hasn't always. Found in a bear cave as a young child, Yanka struggles to fit in and longs to know her past. When her urges for the forest overpower her, she leaves. Making new friends, bites off more than she can chew with a so called impossible mission! Can she survive the unforgiving forest, the wolves, the cold, the danger?! Most importantly, will she ever find out who she truly is?!

Sophie Anderson has created a fantastic adventure! I love the sense of mystery and thrill in Yanka's journey and the wide use of vocabulary. I found it very helpful with the glossary at the back. The storyline makes this book impossible to put down, except at the exciting parts when you just can't bear the tension! The characters are created amazingly and give a vivid description of what meeting them would be like. From Sasha to Mousetrap and Yanka herself, I love this book and this author. Recommended 100%!
