Get ready for a breathtaking adventure in "Polar Peril"! This captivating story introduces us to twelve-year-old Nikki and her cousin, Charlie-Chum, who attend the Mohawk Strawberry Festival. While there, a seer gives Nikki a magic carved polar bear, named Followme, who guides her as she learns how to talk with animals and fly. Followme tells Nikki that the Creator has an assignment for her: to fly to the Arctic to save the polar bears, whose world is melting from global warming. A life-changing journey begins!

At first, Nikki is overwhelmed. Who wouldn't be when taking on such a big project? But she loves polar bears, and besides, who could turn down a mission from the Creator? The journey is hair-raising as Charlie-Chum, clutching Nikki, nearly falls out of the air, and the two kids land amongst hundreds of starving polar bears. But they develop allies as they lead into brown bear territory, for a brave new experiment in polar bear survival. Eventually, there is a gigantic clash between the chief of the brown bears and the mightiest polar bear. This fight will determine whether the experiment succeeds or fails. The sudden appearance of an unexpected and powerful character settles the conflict in new and surprising ways.
