Seekers is a children's novel series written by a team of authors under the pseudonym Erin Hunter, who also wrote the Warriors series.
Seekers follows the adventures of four bear cubs: Kallik (a polar bear), Lusa (a black bear), Ujurak (a small grizzly bear who can shape-shift into any animal), and Toklo (a grizzly bear). Led by Ujurak, the four bears search for a place where they can live in peace without human interference and harassment.
The first book The Quest Begins was released on May 27, 2008 and by October 2010, five volumes were available in the US and Canada:
- The Quest Begins,
- Great Bear Lake,
- Smoke Mountain,
- The Last Wilderness, and
- Fire in the Sky; the sixth and final volume,
- Spirits in the Stars, was released on February 8, 2011.
The series has been well received, with critics praising the realistic behavior of the characters, the excitement in the novels, and the descriptions of the bears' world.
First series
The series takes place over the span of six books, which are: The Quest Begins, Great Bear Lake, Smoke Mountain, The Last Wilderness, Fire in the Sky, and Spirits in the Stars. The story follows four young bears. Lusa, a black bear, Kallik, a polar bear, Toklo, a grizzly bear and Ujurak, who is able to shape-shift into any animal, but remains a brown bear most of the time.
The first book, The Quest Begins, shows how each of the four bears are either abandoned or separated from their parents. Kallik is separated from her mother and brother when a pod of killer whales kills her mother, while her brother was still on the other side of the canal, thinking they were both dead. After this, Kallik travels to find her brother. Toklo is abandoned by his mother after his brother, Tobi, dies and his mother sees how the salmon is disappearing, and left Toklo to travel alone. Lusa was born and raised in a zoo. Her story intertwines with Toklo's after his mother is brought to the zoo and Lusa hears of the wild. Hoping to leave her home, she escapes the zoo and looks for Toklo. Meanwhile, Toklo finds Ujurak injured and helps him; they begin to travel together. They meet up with Lusa at the end of the book.
By Great Bear Lake, the four bears have joined together and they try to go to the Arctic. Although Kallik finds her brother Taqqiq, he has joined a group of bullying bears who kidnap a black bear cub. Taqqiq sees that what he did was wrong and joins the questing bears but he soon leaves the group in the third book when he feels he does not belong with them. The remaining four cubs learn of a place called the Last Great Wilderness in the third book, where there is plentiful food and shelter. After defying hardships such as hunger and bear hunters, they finally make it to the Last Great Wilderness. However, even though they are there, Ujurak, who leads the journey, feels that they need to go further, into the Arctic. In Fire in the Sky, the bears leave the Last Great Wilderness and travel towards the Arctic. In the sixth and final book of the first series, Spirits in the Stars, the four bears make it to Star Island, a place where many polar bears live. They find a sick mother polar bear and her cub. The mother dies from sickness and the four bears look after her cub. Toklo finds that he also struggles with his urge to become a brown bear and travel alone. The bears save the polar bears that inhabit Star Island by destroying an oil rig that was poisoning the seals that they eat, but Ujurak dies in an avalanche while saving the others. Yakone, a young white bear who lived on the strange Star Island with the sick bears, is added to the group of bears on the last page of the book.
Second series
The series takes place over the span of three books at the moment which are Return to the Wild: Island of Shadows, Return to the Wild: The Melting Sea, and Return to the Wild: River of Lost Bears. A fourth book entitled Return to the Wild: Forest of Wolves will be released on January 7, 2014.
Other books
Seekers has also been published in original English-language manga form. The books are drawn by Bettina Kurkoski, who also drew The Rise of Scourge. The first one, Toklo's Story, was released on February 9, 2010, the same day The Last Wilderness was released. The second, featuring Kallik, called Kallik's Adventure was released on February 8, 2011. The third one was going to be called Lusa's Tale, But Tokyopop, the graphic novel company, decided not to make any more books for the USA. Unless Erin Hunter creates it herself, the book may not come out at all.
