Author Signing: Hannah Gold

Come and meet Hannah Gold at Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate the release of the paperback edition of Finding Bear.

April Wood has returned from her adventure on Bear Island, but she can’t stop thinking about Bear.

When April hears that a polar bear has been shot and injured in Svalbard, she’s convinced it’s her friend and persuades her dad to travel with her to the northernmost reaches of the Arctic to find him.

So begins an unforgettable journey across frozen tundra and through glaciers. But in Svalbard, April discovers more than she bargained for – a baby polar bear cub, desperately in need of her help. April must navigate the dangerous Arctic terrain and face her deepest fears if she’s to save him.

Beautifully illustrated by Levi Pinfold, Finding Bear is a stunning story of survival and hope that reminds us how change is made from the smallest beginnings, and asks how far we are prepared to go to protect what we love.

Gold’s debut, The Last Bear (2021) is the moving tale of the daughter of an Arctic researcher and her encounter with a lone polar bear, stunningly illustrated by Levi Pinfold. It became an instant bestseller and has been shortlisted for numerous awards, including The Blue Peter Book Award 2021and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2022. Her second book, The Lost Whale (2022), recounts another compelling animal adventure, subtly reflecting on climate change and the fate of species threatened with extinction.
