Review by Chris H.
Who would like this book? People who like adventure and action books and are ages 10 to 100.
Why? This book has lots of short stories and exciting moments. The stories consist of people and their experiences with bears. There are some moments in this book that are pretty gruesome, so some people may not like that aspect of the book. There are also lots of funny stories about encounters with bears. For example there is a story about a bear that went to a church and fell asleep then woke up at the end and walked away. This book was very interesting and one of the best books I have read.

Review by Sofie
Who would like this book? People who liked The Outsiders.
Why? Mike and Terry are cousins that are closer than brothers. Their moms are sisters and their dads are brothers. When they are ten, their fathers both die in a car crash. This story shows how both boys react differently. Mike’s life is filled with sorrow, regret, and anger. Terry’s life is filled with crime and thrill. When Terry goes to jail, what will happen to Mike? How will he hold himself together? And what will happen to the relationship of the two young men?
