The Great Bear
The Great Bear: The Misewa Saga, Book Two | David A. Robertson
8 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
In this second book in the Narnia-inspired Indigenous middle-grade fantasy series, Eli and Morgan journey once more to Misewa, travelling back in time. Back at home after their first adventure in the Barren Grounds, Eli and Morgan each struggle with personal issues- Eli is being bullied at school, and tries to hide it from Morgan, while Morgan has to make an important decision about her birth mother. They turn to the place where they know they can learn the most, and make the journey to Misewa to visit their animal friends. This time they travel back in time and meet a young fisher that might just be their lost friend. But they discover that the village is once again in peril, and they must dig deep within themselves to find the strength to protect their beloved friends. Can they carry this strength back home to face their own challenges?

So again the 6th grader in me was excited for this installment of the native saga- and even the adult liked it. There is however a bit too much “remember the 1st book” in opening half of this one. The second half really kicks off and the action is pretty darn good and the characters stay true. Yet this is just not as astonishing as the first.

Although I don‘t think I liked this sequel quite as much as the first book, it was still a wonderful story. Adventure and suspense, with an exploration of finding personal strength and strength in those around you. The sense of community and family is the strong heart of both books, and the characters are compelling and engaging.

I struggle to see why this book was banned. I thought it appealing and heartfelt, and most kids I know would love it.

The second book was just as good as the first. As a youth librarian, I don‘t often continue with series as there is always so much else to read, but this one 🧡🧡🧡 The ending oof and then oof again 💔💔 I‘m eagerly awaiting book three this fall. #audiocooking

Cuddling with someone and listening to the tagged audiobook before he goes and gets groomed this morning. My COVID booster shot is kicking my butt today. Just feel crappy. Yesterday wasn‘t too bad just was vey tired and had some chills. But before bed I got a massive headache that keep waking me up last night. Hoping to be able to get a nap time today! But I will take feeling crappy over what I could feel like with COVID!

Librarybelle Hope you feel better soon! 3y

brittanyreads Aw bummer I was wondering if the booster came with crappy side effects. My 2nd dose took me out! I hope you get lots of rest and feel up for a little reading! 💉👍😁 3y
Lovesbooks87 @BrittanyReads when I went yesterday the nurse asked me if I had side effects with the second shot and I told her yes. She told me that my side effects could be worse this time with my body knowing the shot. I didn‘t have a headache last time but had a really bad one last night. Besides that I don‘t think I feel worse than my second shot. My little brother got his booster on Friday and had no side effects! 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3y
tpixie Drink lots of water 💦 move shot arm around a lot 💉 & you can take Tylenol 1000 mg every 6 hours. Good luck! 🍀 3y
brittanyreads It's so crazy, most men I know had little to no symptoms but all the women I know were out for like 2 days. Well wishes to you! 3y
Soubhiville I‘m sorry you feel rough. I got lucky and had fewer/ milder side effects from my booster. I hope you feel better fast. 💜 3y
TheLibrarian Feel better! I just gone my booster yesterday and am prepping for the red, swollen rash I got last time on my arm. Other than that it‘s just sore. I did start my day with Tylenol though 😂 3y
Lovesbooks87 @TheLibrarian I am finally starting to feel like a human again! I got the rash last time but haven‘t gotten it yet. I hope it your arm doesn‘t get too sore! 3y
RedxoHearts I hope you are feeling better! I need to go do that and my flu shot soon. Such a cute dog by the way. I have been needing to get my longhaired mini dachshund groomed too 3y

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 239.
