Ursoaica din vis

Darcy e o adolescenta tipica, al carei univers se compune din mall, moda, Facebook si gadgeturi. Cand meseria tatalui ei o forteaza sa se mute in Parcul National Yellowstone, se vede rupta de tot ce conta pentru ea si aruncata intr-un mediu ostil, in care se simte mereu bolnava. Curand, se intampla tot ce putea fi mai rau: fata da nas in nas cu o ursoaica grizzly. Dar, in loc sa fie o inclestare pe viata si pe moarte, intalnirea dintre om si urs devine de data aceasta, in mod miraculos, o lupta pentru supravietuirea celuilalt.

"Can grizzly bears feel gratitude? Why should they? They live alone most of their lives. When they are together, they seem like very young toddlers; aware of each other, but with no intention of interacting. They will often fight over food or over a special place. Their mothers tenderly care for them, and it certainly seems the cubs and mothers love each other dearly. But once the cubs are grown, they may never see their mothers again. Worse still, they may not recognize them if they do. To whom would a bear feel grateful?"
