Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Grade 5-8-An appealing outdoor adventure. Danny Forester, 12, is apprehensive when he embarks on a week-long canoe trip with his father and college-aged brother near the Minnesota-Canada border. The boy feels "flabby, fat, and weak" next to Mike, and his long-standing fear of bears only adds to his worries. While the three of them share great experiences fishing, canoeing, and camping, they also face threatening weather, dangerous waterfalls, and aggressive bears. The plot is somewhat predictable, as is Danny's growth from outdoor novice to hero of the trip. However, the author does convey his love of canoeing and the outdoors. The fast-paced action makes the story a good choice for read-alouds as well as for reluctant readers. Occasional black-and-white illustrations of bears accompany the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chasing Bears, September 11, 2000
By 
Sue (Plymouth, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chasing Bears (Paperback)
I purchased this book to read to my 9 yr son while vactioning in Voyageurs National Park. On a rainy day I began reading it to my son out loud. Soon my husband and 12 year daughter came to listen. It became our evening ritual, reading several chapters out loud to the whole family. It is very well written and suspenseful. We hope he writes another book.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Chasing Bears (Library Binding)
I think that chashing bears is a very good book and that the forester family got closer, that danny grew stronger and stronger and that him and his dad hank got closer and that mike gain some respect for danny and knew if danny wanted to be a computer freak he can be and if he was weak he was weak...

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure in the North woods, February 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Chasing Bears (Hardcover)
I found this book to be educational as well as entertaining. It discusses details of canoeing and camping but is also a good story about fathers and sons getting to know each other and changing because of their adventures.
