Seekers: The Quest Begins - blog 6

Title: Seekers: The Quest Begins
Author: Erin Hunter
Genre: fantasy
Number of pages read: 301/ 301

So finally I read my book. 
Toklo meets friend called Ujurak. It is a bear that can change shapes. Toklo saves his life and they start traveling together. Lusa is trying to survive in woods but it is so hard and bear watcher helps her to find food enough for surviving. Kallik finds gathering place with her friend Purnaq and then they see flat-faces who want to capture them and Kallik starts panicking. She calms down because her friend Nanuk helps her to escape. Finally Lusa finds two bears playing in the woods. She realizes that one of them is Toklo, Oka's cub. Lusa tells him the truth about his mother and they start traveling together. 

Basically the ending of the first book is the beginning of the second one. In the end of the book Lusa and Kallik kind of solved their problems because Lusa finds Toklo and tells him everything and Kallik finds a gathering place. However, Toklo was starving in almost every part that I have read from the first book so he will probably solve his problem somewhere in the second book. The ending wasn't as powerful as I imagined it to be. However, it should make you want to read the second book because not everybody go to the Great Bear Lake where they actually wanted to go. 

Passage: 
Don't hurt her," Ujurak pleaded. "Look at her. She's  half starved - she's not threat to us. Let her go, Toklo."
The black bear stopped struggling. Toklo looked back down at her. She was staring him with enormous eyes. 
"You're Toklo?" she said.
"Y-yes," he said.
The black bear scrambled out from underneath him and got to her paws. "I'm Lusa," she said. "I've been looking for you."
This is the last passage from the book and it is on page 293. From there till the end of the book (page 301) there were some pages from the next book Seekers: Great Bear Lake. I posted this passage because it really finishes the book, leaving some kind of mystery and making the reader read the second book.
