Reviews
"[Bastedo] writes life into this novel with all of the color-and emotional impact-of the tundra in summer."
-- Globe & Mail
"Readers normally reluctant to read a story about grizzly bears will react with enthusiastic appreciation for Bastedo's characters, plot and writing. . . . The story would be wonderful for classroom discussions on grizzlies, the Arctic, and ethical issues of trying to exist with animals in their natural environment."
-- VOYA
"Author Jamie Bastedo's passion for wildlife comes across on every page of Tracking Triple Seven. This is a masterfully written account of the lives of a grizzly family.
Highly Recommended."
