The cover gave me a different idea about the book than the review. However, both ensured one thing, that is, I am going to read this book. Thanks for the review, the father-son relationship made me want to pick this book up!

Sounds like an interesting story of a boy that overcomes his fears to save his father from kidnappers. However, it doesn't seem like it is a book for Adults.

This book sounds very interesting; it makes me wonder what Dr. Timmy must be working on to be kept from his son and who is keeping him and his son from each other. It's always a good idea to teach to middle grade readers to conquer their fears, so I think it'd be great to have readers around that age check this out. Thank you for the helpful review.

The cover doesn't show much but the book sounds thrilling and a page-turner by your review. Though I can't understand if Timmy is a kid or a teen, the adventures he goes through look promising.

If your child has just started to read then Bear Company is must for them. As I have gone through the sample of the book it seems like Mr Peter is well known in his field and has exciting job but this time he caught in trouble. Brave son Timmy manages his struggle own. A lonely child miss his father and his love, Must read if your child is interested in adventurous reading.
Thank you

From the book cover, I thought there would be robot bears, but there was never a mention of it in your review. Still, it's amazing to think that a mere boy would face his fears to be reunited with his father.

I love the visible display of affection between the father and son. In contrast to what we are made to believe by the cover. The story is intriguing.

Bear Company by Cameron Alexander is a children's science fiction and fantasy book about a boy named Timmy who musters the courage to go on a mission to rescue his father, world-famous scientist, Dr. Peter Barnes, who has been kidnapped and forced to open a portal to the universe's baddies. Dr. Barnes, however, is able to deploy the Bear Company to help his son Tim find a way to reunite with him. This is unique because for a change, this is about a boy who conquers his fears to find his dad. Great kid fiction!
