Jasper Robinson-Woods is not okay - his name is too long, his mum has an annoying boyfriend, he never sees his dad, and he can't sleep because of a terrifying nightmare! Oh, and to top it off, his goldfish is dying.
Jasper is overwhelmed with bad thoughts. Are they a sign of disaster to come? The only place Jasper feels safe is in the tree in his front yard.
But then the unimaginable happens: the nightmare he's been having comes to life and follows him to school . . .
Bear is a moving, often laugh-out-loud funny story about a young man and his journey to confront his nightmare and what it represents, while learning that even when you hit rock bottom, you never know what, or who, is around the corner.
