All reviews for Moon Bear

I just couldn’t put it down…
Moon Bear is a great book. It is very sad but at times quite happy. It definitely does justice for the bears in Asia that are locked up in cages on bear farms. I absolutely love the happy ending- read the book to find out what it is!
My favourite character is Savanh, she is a great role model and is willing to do her part for the wildlife around her. When she is ill she needs bear bile from a bear cub named Sôok-Dî. She realises that it is killing the bear cub and gives up the treatment, going against her fathers wishes and putting her life on the line.
My favourite scene is right at the end in the amazing twist (I could tell you it would take the suprise out of it)!
I rate this book 10/10, Lewis wrote the book from the heart, it makes you cry, get angry, fearful and it is like your actually in the middle of it all. Lewis gets you attached to the character and makes you feel sympathy for them which is great because when bad things happen you can’t put the book down because you want to make sure the character is okay.

Moon bear is a great book. Gill Lewis wrote this book extremely well as when you read it you feel sad,angry,outraged and happy. My favourite character is either Savanh,Tam’s Grandfather or Sôok-díi,the bear cub.
I absolutely hate the doctor.He is so cruel to the bears.It is so sad that this happens to bears in real life.I loved this book and I can’t wait for more from Gill!
