More About This Book

Overview

The Last Great Wilderness . . .

United at last, polar bears Kallik and Taqqiq, black bear Lusa, grizzly bear Toklo, and Ujurak, the mysterious shape-shifting bear, learn of a place they think must be the destination of their quest: the Last Great Wilderness. But getting there means crossing the burning Smoke Mountains, which hold obstacles more treacherous than anything they've faced so far. Signs and omens point in different directions, but each bear must follow his or her own star, and while one is pushed to the brink of death, another decides to leave the group forever. . . .

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The adventures of Kallik, Lusa, and Toklo continue in the third installment of Erin Hunter's Seekers series. If fans of Hunter's Warriors haven't already sampled this animal epic, it's time to catch up. The heroes are all young furry creatures: Kallik is a polar bear; Lusa a black bear; and Toklo, a grizzly. Exciting stories; endearing main characters.
Children's Literature
Hunter's popular "Seekers" series continues with this third installment, which follows young bears Lusa, Toklo, Kallik, and Ujurak on their trek to the Endless Ice, with Kallik's reluctant brother, Taqqiq, in tow. The tensions between their species—black, grizzly, and polar—that erupted at Great Bear Lake increase the difficultly of their already dangerous journey, especially since instigator Taqqiq refuses to accept Kallik's new friends. Must she choose between the brother for whom she crossed a continent and the mission her heart tells her is right? And, even if they can traverse the perilous, rumbling Smoke Mountain to reach the Endless Ice, can the bears escape the "flat faces" with deadly "firesticks" that stand in their way? Fans of Hunter's previous "Warrior" series will enjoy the familiar anthropomorphism and animal's-eye-view that characterize this book, although shape-changing Ujurak—a "Lorax" character who transforms into, then speaks for other animals—gives "Seekers" a decidedly more mystical, environmental bent. The frequent-release timeframe and engaging characterization of these books make them an ideal start for younger readers, both in and out of the classroom. Reviewer: Cara Chancellor

VOYA
At the height of "burnsky" (summer), four cubs leave the gathering of bears described in Great Bear Lake (HarperCollins, 2009/VOYA April 2009) to resume their search for the Last Great Wilderness, where animals can live in peace. Following directions from a dying polar bear, they seek a path through the volcanic Smoke Mountains. Along the way, they must cross a swift river, dodge "firebeasts" (machines), and flee from hunters. Everywhere are increasing signs of human presence and environmental degradation. Black bear Lusa and shape-changer Ujurak each dream of a voice that whispers, "Save the wild." But how can a small bear accomplish such a huge task? Arriving at last at their goal, the bears are dismayed to learn that the Last Great Wilderness is not the end of their quest after all. The bears grow and change as the Seekers series continues. Prickly brown bear Toklo and loner Kallik, a polar bear, gradually learn to trust their companions; Lusa grows in confidence and compassion; and Ujurak gains increasing control over his transformations into other animals. The resourceful cubs are given ample opportunity to prove their bravery as they face one danger after another. Despite the excitement, there is no real climax to this volume, which serves mainly to move the bears to the next stage of their quest. The environmental message threatens to overwhelm the story. Nevertheless Hunter's fans will clamor for this book. The publishers have not announced the final number of volumes that are planned for the series. Reviewer: Kathleen Beck
ALA Booklist
“These stories will be welcomed by the Warriors series’ many fans.”
Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
“The resourceful cubs are given ample opportunity to prove their bravery as they face one danger after another. Hunter’s fans will clamor for this.”

Meet the Author

Erin Hunter
Erin Hunter

Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. As well as having great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior. She is also the author of the bestselling Seekers series.

Biography

Erin Hunter is the nom de plume of three British writers who create enthralling, animal-centric YA fantasies in the tradition of Brian Jacques's Redwall books. In 2003, they launched their bestselling Warriors series with Into the Wild, the story of a domesticated kitten who leaves the comforts of his human home to join a family of feral cats living in the woods. Introducing a captivating world where rival cat clans struggle for survival, the book was an immediate sensation with animal- and adventure-loving preteens. Since its debut, Warriors has become a genuine publishing phenomenon, spawning a string of six-book miniseries, each with its own distinct story arc.

The Erin Hunter collaboration is an unusual but highly successful one. Characters and story ideas emanate from editor Victoria Holmes, who keeps track of previous plot lines, ensures continuity, and coordinates the details of a complex and growing cast of characters. Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry take turns writing individual books; then everything is vetted again through Holmes, who checks carefully to make sure the stories are told in a single, unified voice. With different writing styles at work, this would seem a daunting task. However, in a 2006 interview, Holmes explained her modus operandi: "I think of it as being able to "speak Erin Hunter", like speaking a different language, and after working on [so many] scripts, I know pretty much at once if a line or phrase doesn't sound right."

Although the Erin Hunter books are written for young readers, they do not shy away from difficult material. The animals face life-threatening dangers and experience pain, grief, and loss -- sometimes even treachery within their own ranks. But the authors are always careful to reinforce positive messages about family, friendship, loyalty, and love. Independently, Holmes, Cary, and Baldry stay busy with their own writing and editing projects; but in 2008, they reunited for a second animal fantasy series. Seekers: The Quest Begins features a trio of bears from different species (black, polar, and grizzly), who join together for an adventure-filled odyssey that will change their lives forever.

Good To Know

Fun facts about "Erin Hunter" and the Warrior books, plus advice for aspiring writers:
Cherith Baldry and Kate Cary have always loved cats -- and writing fantasy stories! Cherith is particularly interested in the stories of King Arthur, with all those glorious battles, knights, and a courtly code of behavior. Kate is fascinated by animal interaction and the way you can read all sorts of hidden motivation into what cats do. She's also not afraid of describing the goriest scenes!

Says Victoria Holmes, "I love being one of the Erins and frequently dream of being a cat running through a forest when I am coming up with new story lines. Teaming up with Kate and Cherith on the Warriors books is an unconventional way of working, but we love writing the books together and it means we can produce them much faster than a single writer could."

They came up with the single name, Erin Hunter, to avoid confusing their readers by having books from the same series filed in different places on the bookshelves.

Erin's advice for aspiring writers: "Read, read, and read some more! Make sure you read a wide variety of stories: fantasy stories teach you about making up completely new worlds, crime-solving stories teach you about handling a complicated plot, stories with lots of characters teach you how to describe relationships. Also, write as many stories as you can, even if no one else reads them. And remember that the best inspiration comes from what's around you -- Kate and Cherith go for long walks through the woods to find new locations for the cats to explore. They also spend hours watching their cats -- and other people -- to see how they behave in certain situations."

    1. Also Known As:
      Erin Hunter is the pseudonym for three writers: Cherith Baldry, Kate Cary, and Victoria Holmes
    2. Hometown:
      All three writers live in the U.K.

    The personality of each bear reminds me of someone I know...good adventures

    I love the way Erin can see things the way an animal might see them. And though there is tragedies in some things that happen it is still a good book for 10+ year old children. I liked the Warrior books too. After starting reading them from our school library. We purchased several of them for the school. And when you finish one you have to get the next one to find out what happens to the bears.
