The Lone Husky

The Lone Husky finds April Wood, heroine of The Last Bear and Finding Bear, looking ahead to the winter in Svalbard, having bid farewell to Bear for the season. However, she still has plenty to keep her occupied. After all, she has been helping her friend Hedda look after her huskies. One day a new husky arrives, but this one has had sad life experiences and is wary of humans. Patiently and carefully, April manages to earn his confidence.

However, when disaster strikes and Hedda is unable to take part, it’s April who rises to the challenge against the younger Finn Hudson, Ace’s nephew. April has Blaze by her side and, from afar, Bear is keeping an eye on proceedings…..
