Reading Age: 7-9

A boy and a bear in a boat with only a ukulele, a suitcase and a comic book-what could possibly go wrong?

Follow the adventures of the pair across the ocean on what the bear says is “a short journey” but it’s taking ages! Does the bear really know where they are going? What will they do when their food runs out, a storm comes, and a creature emerges from the sea? Between them can they work out a survival plan?
