Have you ever withdrawn into your own quiet realm, becoming like an island, alone and apart?
Mawson Bear fears his friends are lost in their own little worlds, becoming solitary and depressed.
Elliot Bear feels adrift and Little Jewell feels unwanted. Lizbeth is lovelorn and Little Jewell feels small and helpless. Pirate Rake's treasure brings him no joy, Scotland the Brave fears he will never live up to his valiant name and Wurry Bear frets about things she cannot change.
But when Mawson has an accident, they all forget their troubles and rush to help. As they work together to rescue him, they find in themselves strengths they didn't know they had. They make new friendships and realise they are no longer apart and alone.
This gentle, life-affirming tale of finding friends after having felt increasingly alone alone won't fail to put a smile on your face.
