The Girl Who Speaks Bear

by Sophie Anderson

Yanka has always felt different from the village where she was raised, especially because she was found as a baby in a bear cave. As she searches for answers, a mysterious white bear and a dangerous journey lead her into old stories about identity and belonging. The forest offers both threat and guidance. Folkloric and atmospheric, this adventure suits readers who enjoy transformation, found family, and wild landscapes.
