Toklo, a grizzly bear cub, wants to be the most powerful bear in the forest. He dreams of marking out his own territory one day, with his brother following him. Some bears may like to live alone, but he will always have Tobi by his side. But ever since he was younger, Tobi has a strange illness that no bear could cure. So how will Toklo protect his younger brother? Life has never been easy for their family...but it gets even harder now. When a big, mean grizzly tells Toklo’s mother to leave the forest, they have no choice but to obey. Where will the bears go? New territory is hard to find, and even harder to fight for—if that need arises. Homeless, hunted, and wandering, the family has nowhere to go...unless they face the future. Then, Toklo’s mother is captured by the strange creatures that prowl outside their former territory—flat-faces, the two-pawed animals with no claws or fur, with their strange machines and objects. The loss presses on Toklo’s shoulders heavily; what will he do now? Should he try to find his mother, with no clue about where she is? Or should she continue his search for new territory? Read this book to find out which one he chooses!

Grizzly cub Toklo dreams of one day being a great big bear who will rule the forest. He will mark his wide territory and hunt the biggest game, and his brother, Tobi, will forever be at his side. Other grizzlies may stalk the forest alone, but Toklo and Tobi will always have each other.
Yet for now, they're too little to defend themselves, and when a terrifying grizzly demands they leave his territory—or else—they have no choice but to abandon the only home they've ever known. Will Toklo be able to help his family find a new home—or will he just get them into even greater trouble?
