This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

Beryl is a photographer who specializes in in close-ups of animals. She is chosen for a Natural Photography expedition partly for her size: she is the best fit for the cage designed to sit out on the ice and allow the photographer to get photos of polar bears in their natural habitat near Churchill, Manitoba.

Once on the ice, the polar bears are not as cooperative as the expedition's planners had hoped, and the Natural Photography team finds itself facing unexpected adversity - fleeing for their lives.

I'm counting this as my Manitoba book for my 2016-17 Canadian Reading Challenge.

Saturday, July 30, 2016. Sort of an anti-theme release: a book about polar bears on the ice in Canada left on a picnic table at the beach on a nice sunny day in Hawaii. If you get too hot, this book might help cool you off! :p

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let the book's previous readers know that it's safe with you.

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books: a little like geocaching or a treasure hunt - you can follow a registered book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)
