Boys, Bears, and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots Explanation
Can a boy-hungry Jersey girl survive the wilds of Canada with her eco-identity intact? A witty new YA novel from the author of SOPHOMORE SWITCH.
Jenna may hail from the ’burbs of New Jersey, but Green Teen activism is her life. So when her mom suggests they spend the summer at Grandma’s Florida condo, Jenna pleads instead to visit her hippie godmother, Susie, up in rural Canada. Jenna is psyched at the chance to commune with this nature she’s heard about — and the cute, plaidwearing boys she’s certain must roam there. But after a few run-ins with local wildlife (from a larger-than-life moose to Susie’s sullen Goth stepdaughter to a hot but hostile boy named Reeve), Jenna gets the idea that her long-held ideals, like vegetarianism and conservation, don’t play so well with this population of real outdoorsmen. A dusty survival guide offers Jenna amusing tips on navigating the wilderness — but can she learn to navigate the turns of her heart?

Book Review: [...]
Jenna has big plans for the summer with her "Green Teen" friend Olivia as an intern for Earth Now...that is until her parents tell her the good news...her dad is going overseas for his job and mom is going to stay at grandma's. Not only destroying her summer plans but something tells Jenna that her parents just don't seem as happy as they used to be.
Thankfully Jenna talks her mom into sending her to visit godmother Susie up in Canada where she also meets Susie's new husband Adam and his daughter Fiona ( a very cranky angsty teen who listens to angry music and whose black hair is "dyed with cheap drugstore stuff so that it sucks all light and joy into its vortex of blackness.")
While basking in all the wilderness glory and despite being a little scared to go into the woods by herself, Jenna meets brothers Ethan and Grady and friend Reeve...all friends of Fiona who all grew up together in the very small town of Stillwater. The boys give Jenna a hard time at...
Review from One Book At A Time http://onebooktime.blogspot.com
I was a little worried about this book and the environmental standpoint. I come from rural Idaho, which is not to far off from the rural Canada in this story. I was surprised that I felt that aspect just added to the story. It's not shoved down your throat, and it turns out it doesn't define Jenna as a character. I identified with her a lot more than I thought I would. I understood trying to make friends when your visiting a place for the summer. It's hard and especially so when your ideals are on a completely different level than everyone else. I liked watching Jenna interact with the group of kids she eventually became friends with. And, I liked how the story involved bring back some tourism to the town. I thought it was a good example of how people and friendships can grow and evolve.
There was one little aspect of the book that did bother me both while reading it and even now thinking about it. Jenna goes out Kayaking with the boys without any training or a life...
Fun Summer Read
Boys, Bears, and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots was a really fun, adventurous read with a few more serious matters thrown in.
Jenna is a 17 year old girl who grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey. She's a member of a Green Teen, a club for environmentalists who hold protests and spends her free time sending letters to government officials to protect the environment. Over summer she chooses to spend time with her godmother, Susie, Susie's new husband, and his daughter Fiona in Canada wilderness.
When Jenna arrives into town she goes in wanting to change everything from preventing global warming to adding solar panels. I'm all for protecting the environment, but with Jenna it just became too much and came off somewhat forced. The step-daughter Fiona was the most annoying. She spent most of her time reading Sylvia Plath, listening to depressing music, and just being bitchy for no reason. Fiona was pretty much the stereotypical "goth". What I enjoyed most about the...
