Critics Review
” The tension is well-crafted and realistic. Bear Island is a challenging environment to survive but a terrific thrill on the page.” – Kirkus Reviews
Kirkus Reviews: “The tension is well-crafted and realistic. Bear Island is a challenging environment to survive but a terrific thrill on the page.”Alaska Dispatch: “Greci has taken a popular if somewhat shopworn theme of juvenile literature – being marooned – and given it new vitality. You needn’t be a kid to stay up late reading this one.”–David James.Juneau Empire: “Surviving Bear Island is an exciting book outdoors-minded boys and girls both will enjoy. It’s fast paced enough to keep reluctant readers’ attention, but it also avoids oversimplification while communicating real-life dilemmas in understandable ways.”–Mary Catharine MartinFairbanks Daily News-Miner: “Surviving Bear Island is a heart-pounding adventure that both kids and adults will enjoy… It follows its hero through a brilliant coming-of-age the likes of which are unlikely to be found anywhere outside Alaska.”–Addley Fannin
