Emily is 11 years old
and she had a pet bear that she released into the Great Bear Rain Forest. Poachers had wounded the bear cub and the
family nursed her back to health.
She misses her bear a lot and she overhears her 16-year-old sister
Melissa planning to go to the forest to take pictures of the logging company
work. She is going with her high
school friend Daniel and they believe the logging company is not following the
established guidelines for clear cutting.
Emily meets John Ours and he helps her find her way to the forest. Right away Emily encounters a bear that
she thinks is her bear but this is a different bear. Emily uses her whistle to make the bear leave logging
camp. Melissa warns Emily that it
was dangerous to work with a different bear that she doesn’t know. Emily accidentally falls into the creek,
Melissa follows her in a raft but it overturns. Their community will need to launch a search before darkness
sets in.
This is a good family
film. The scenery in the forest is
very beautiful and the scenes of Emily with her bear and the other bear are
interesting. The parents are very
worried about Emily and also worried that she is with a bear since they are not
sure it is her bear? 3 ½* (I liked
