- Synopsis
- The Alaskan wilderness is a lonely place for Mark Andersen, especially after the death of his older brother, Jamie. But in time Mark finds someone else to love - Ben, an Alaskan brown bear so huge that no one else dares come near him. The two experience many adventures together. Through their relationship, Mark matures and develops an unselfish love. Through this story, Mark's family learns to communicate better and to develop the ability to support and love each other. Although Ben is a lovable old bear, he is often not understood by others and is ruthlessly pursued by the shady villain Fogg Hanson. Mark's Dad has to continually intercede in order to save the Gentle Giant's life. This children's story was subsequently made into a film and a TV series.
