Three bears . . . one destiny

From the author of the nationally bestselling Warriors books comes a brand-new animal fantasy series. Three young bears from different species?black, polar, and grizzly?are separated from their families when they are just young cubs. They find themselves brought together on a perilous journey. Fate is about to change all these bears lives forever, setting their paws on a path toward a future they cannot yet imagine . . .

Seekers,The Quest Begins - Amazing & Captivating!

Seekers is an amazing and captivating book. My daughter found it to be a very heart warming and touching life journey story about the lives of three very different bear cubs,who struggle to survive in the wilderness alone. She could not tear away from reading the book even though she was sleepy! She just can't wait to read the sequel. The book was great!

Beautiful and Savage Nature

The Quest Be (Seekers, Book 1)

The first book in the Seekers series is rich and beautiful. It can seem a little preachy when it comes to the environmental impact of humans, but regardless of being a little heavy handed in that regard, I still think this is a wondeful and worthy book.

Three different bears face hardship and struggles of their own, and the book shows in great detail the world from the bear's perspectives, which is often interesting considering that we're so used to seeing it from our own view as humans.

This book does contain some harsh elements, but this is necessary to show the reality of how nature really is. Nature is both beautiful and harsh, and so is this book.

I get the sense that these bears share a destiny not unlike the destiny shared by Jaypaw, Lionpaw, and Hollypaw in the Power of Three series.

Please, seek a different book

Firstly, I have to say that Erin Hunter is an excellent writer and her Warriors series are equally excellent. I'm surely a fan of her works...
Just not this one. Seekers has its exciting moments, but honestly, its a letdown. The characters are two-dimensional and I can't really feel for them on an emotional level like I could in her warriors books. They just seem so...naive and helpless, really. Almost verging on pathetic.
And how they took off characters left and right? I found that very harsh and a little unnecessary. My main problem was the shape-shifting cub (or is he a fish, eagle, or human...?!) whose name I can't pronounce. What I liked about warriors was that its realistic...this was just way out of proportion.
Was it worth the buy? No. But it's worth reading, for the educational parts about the stae of the world's different environments of the bears and whatnot and the few moments of suspense. Will I read the sequel? When it hits the libraries I guess - I advise you to do the same. It was a decent book. Not good, not great. Decent.
