Product Description
Though just fifteen, Simon Jackson shows the world how one boy can truly make a difference. Simon has always been shy and introverted, until his life changes in on instant. Attacked in the remote wilderness, Simon is rescued by a rare white Kermode bear, also known as Spirit Bears. When he learns that only 400 of these beautiful endangered creatures are left, he finds his voice and transforms into a political activist. With the help of his friend and mentor Lloyd Blackburn (Academy Award nominee Graham Greene, Dances with Wolves), Simon courageously takes on the powerful forest industry led by Frank Perdue (Golden Globe Nominee Ed Begley, Jr.) and the government. His message is clear, and everyone gets involved from Prince William to the Backstreet Boys. Through hard work and perseverance, Simon saves the Spirit Bears and secures the protection of 2,500 square miles of Princess Royal Island-one of the largest land protection battles ever won. Simon captures the hearts of the world, and is named one of Time Magazines Heroes for the Planet. The Spirit Bear Youth Coalition now spans more than 70 countries and enjoys the support of more than 6 million young people. So far, the group has helped to protect two-thirds of the Spirit Bears last intact habitat.
