Based on the beloved comic strip Bear with Me by Bob Scott, this lighthearted odd couple middle grade graphic novel is about a girl and her very best friend: an 800-pound scaredy-bear! When Bear wanders into eleven-year-old Mollys life, she knows shes just met her new bestie. Loyal, sweet, inquisitiveand terrified of almost everythingBear makes a great new friend. And hes not scary at all! But try telling that to the rest of the world. Molly eventually convinces her mum and dad to let Bear stay with them, but showing everyone else that Bear isnt dangerous (not to mention assuring Bear that he isnt in constant danger!) is going to take some work. Lucky for Bear, Molly doesnt give up easily.
