A "bad kid" helps save a bear -- and himself -- in this emotional and resonant middle grade novel by Sky Pony's best-selling MG author.

---

Noah is not having a good year. His mom is in prison, he's living with his mom's boyfriendwho he's sure is just waiting until his mother's six month sentence is up to kick him outand he's officially hated by everyone at his middle school, including his former best friend. It's Noah's fault that the entire football program got shut down after last year. One day, Noah notices a young bear at the edge of the woods with her head stuck in a bucket. A bucket that was almost certainly left outside as part of a school fundraiser to bring back the football team. As days go by, the bear is still stuckshe's wasting away and clearly getting weaker, even as she runs from anyone who tries to help. And she's always alone. Though Noah ignores the taunts at school and ignores his mother's phone calls from jail, he can't ignore the bear. Everyone else has written the bear off as a lost causejust like they have with Noah. He makes it his mission to help her. But rescuing the bear means tackling his pastand presenthead-on. Could saving the bear ultimately save Noah, too?

Autor

Beth Vrabel grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania. She won a short-story contest in fourth grade and promptly decided writing was what she was going to do with her life. Although her other plans — becoming a wolf biologist, a Yellowstone National Park ranger, and a professional roller skater — didn’t come to fruition, she stuck with the writing. She is the author of Pack of Dorks, Camp Dork, A Blind Guide to Stinkville, and A Blind Guide to Normal. Beth and her family live in Connecticut, where Beth spends too much of her writing time posting social media updates on the adventures of Jasper the dog, and guinea pigs Winn-Dixie and Pippin.
