Bookroo's summary

Molly, an adventurous eleven-year-old, finds an unlikely best friend in Bear, an 800-pound creature terrified of the world. While Bear is gentle and sweet, convincing others he's not a threat is a daunting task. As Molly persuades her parents to let Bear stay, she faces the challenge of changing public perception and easing Bear's constant fears. Can Molly's determination and friendship overcome the world's misconceptions? Join Molly and Bear on a heartwarming journey of acceptance and courage.

From the publisher

Based on the beloved comic strip “Bear with Me” by Bob Scott, this lighthearted odd couple middle grade graphic novel is about a girl and her very best friend: an 800-pound scaredy-bear! When Bear wanders into eleven-year-old Molly’s life, she knows she’s just met her new bestie. Loyal, sweet, inquisitive–and terrified of almost everything–Bear makes a great new friend. And he’s not scary at all! But try telling that to the rest of the world. Molly eventually convinces her mom and dad to let Bear stay with them, but showing everyone else that Bear isn’t dangerous (not to mention assuring Bear that he isn’t in constant danger!) is going to take some work. Lucky for Bear, Molly doesn’t give up easily.
