Great review! Seems like a solid book that contains a great lesson. I wonder, however, if you had any criticism of it?

The cover is absolutely frightening and normally would pass. However, after reading the informative review, I'm going to give this book a try. It seems to have a positive message no matter what the age group.

I love the fact that the author made a son and dad relationship so strong in this book. Because it is aimed at a younger audience, it’s nice to see the dad being a god podcast protector over his son. The sample pages were so well written that I forgot this book is for a younger crowd. Thank you for your insight on this one. I think a lot of younger readers will love it.

Bear Company (Dark Corps) (Volume 1)

:eusa-think: A good read, even adults above the recommended age would find it somewhat clever (if i may say). I didn't find the first few pages intriguing until i read further into it. The cover art did have an appeal to it tho. Looking forward to the complete series. :tiphat:

Bear Company (Dark Corps #1) is an intriguing book. It's a fast, simple to read and understandable book that pits teddy bears against shadow beasts. While Timmy's father, Dr. Barnes, isn't with Timmy, he does all that he can to protect his son. Still waiting to read the full version though. Great review.

Great review. This book sounds like something I would read for fun. I love thrillers and my son loves them too. I would love to share this with him since he is such a fan of Five Nights At Freddy’s, I think he will enjoy this book.

A nice science fiction for kids book "Bear Company (Dark Corps) (Volume 1)" by Cameron Alexander which revolves around Timmy who fights with his new found friends to get to his missing father, Dr. Barnes a world-renowned scientist who has made a ground-breaking invention, and he loses access to the outside world due to same invention. Quite intense adventure story makes it tempting to read.

"Bear Company (Dark Corps) (Volume 1)" by Cameron Alexander sounds interesting and captivating. It explains the bond between a father and son. Well, to be completely honest, I was not a bit attracted to the book cover. I thought it is a book meant for kids. Well, that part is true. However, I believe adults can also enjoy reading this story. We could all learn a thing or two.

I enjoyed your review. Thank you.

This is the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. I really think your review helped me see what lies beneath. I can’t wait to give this a read!

This book is not one I would choose, but it's genre sounds a bit like Stranger Things. Kids being the protagonists and exploring courage in the face of adversity. Thanks for the great review.

It is amazing how strong a bond between a father and son can be. And even though they are forced to be miles apart, that bond ia still there. I love the that Timmy's father made sure that he will be surrounded by friends who care, while he knew he could not :tiphat:
