The Zoomer Book Club's Nathalie Atkinson tagged ten "tales about our furry and feathered friends [that] give new meaning to creature comforts and prove the animal-human bond is mutually beneficial." One title on the list:
Pearly Everlasting by Tammy Armstrong

In this vivid and lyrical novel set in Depression-era New Brunswick, the Nova Scotia-based poet follows 15-year-old Pearly, a girl who was raised alongside an orphaned bear cub named Bruno, and considers him a sibling. When the local lumber camp boss sells Bruno to an animal trader, Pearly traverses the Canadian wilderness to rescue him.
