Seekers: The Quest Begins

This is the first book of the Seekers series by Erin Hunter. Erin Hunter is an amazing writer, authour of the truly fantastic 'Warriors' series, as well as the Survivors series. I love the Warriors series with a passion, and the Seekers series isn't close behind. Thank you Erin Hunter for writing such amazing books!

Our story begins with four bears by the names of Tolko, Luna, Ujurak, and Kallik starting on their own journeys, each one seemingly on their own. But fate draws them together into one fatal adventure, which will change all of their lives forever. In the world of bears, featuring everything from a bear's rivals, fears, hunger, triumphs, and feelings, Seekers offers to show the world to the reader in a whole different view. Each bear starting at a different place, traveling a journey starting alone and ending together. The Quest Begins is a great book on the beginnings of a true friendship, told in a bear's point of view. From prickly Toklo who is aggressive and blunt, Kallik who is a motherly figure and always wanting to take care of the others, Ujurak with his spirits, signs, and shape-shifting, to his undying loyalty, and last but not least, Lusa with her friendly chatter and amiable ways, in their heart of hearts, they all care deeply for one another. Even if before this journey started unfolding, they never even knew each other.

Everyone has a history. Each bear does too. Even with Toklo and his rocky relationship with his mother Oka and his brother Tobi. But when Tobi dies, and Oka abandons him, he must find a way to cope alone. At least that's what he thinks. Ujurak meeting up with Toklo, eager to be friends, and provide his skills in reading signs, navigating, and shape-shifting. Sticking with Toklo, he reminds Toklo of his own brother, Tobi, and ends up being very close with him. Meanwhile, Lusa travels a long long time to find Toklo, from her home, the Bear Bowl. Her mother, Ashia, and her father, King, are at the Bear Bowl. And through her long journey, she remains to the hope and the belief that they are looking after her. Kallik lost her family, and she is now on a search to find her brother, Taquiq. However, if she will be able to find him is a totally different story.

Seekers The Quest Begins is the beginning of the four bears' amazing adventure, testing their will, strength, loyalty, and faith. It is an amazing book all animal lovers and adventure lovers will love, and especially to those who are fans of Erin Hunter. I love this series dearly! It is amazingly written, with such wonderful foreshadowing you barely even realize it is there. With a plot line of an average adventure, it has something even better. The POV changes between the bears give a little extra spice, seeing everything through different characters, each being bears!

It is a completely unique story, as well as Warriors! I hope Erin Hunter keeps writing!

***I give this book a 9.9999 out of 10!***
