Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reveiws: “The tension is well-crafted and realistic. Bear Island is a challenging environment to survive but a terrific thrill on the page.”

From the Alaska Dispatch: “Greci has taken a popular if somewhat shopworn theme of juvenile literature — being marooned — and given it new vitality. You neednt be a kid to stay up late reading this one.”–David James.

From the Juneau Empire: Surviving Bear Island is an exciting book outdoors-minded boys and girls both will enjoy. Its fast paced enough to keep reluctant readers attention, but it also avoids oversimplification while communicating real-life dilemmas in understandable ways.”–Mary Catharine Martin

From the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner: “Surviving Bear Island is a heart-pounding adventure that both kids and adults will enjoy It follows its hero through a brilliant coming-of-age the likes of which are unlikely to be found anywhere outside Alaska.”–Addley Fannin
