Smoke Mountain
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...

Three bears...one destiny. 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, where fate is about to change their lives forever, setting their paws on a path toward a future they cannot yet imagine...
In this series by the authors of 'The Warriors', nature and the environment are a backdrop to the adventures of these proud, fierce and intelligent bears. Their quest is not just a physical journey across Canada and the Arctic, but a spiritual journey as they track down what 'being wild' really means, and how they can preserve their way of life for generations of bears to come.
But make no mistake, there are torn loyalties, dangerous situations, and intense battles along the way...
