Written by scientist and environmental activist Trang Nguyen, Saving Sorya: Chang and the Sun Bearis an inspirational graphic novel adventure, based on a true story, about a young conservationist who overcomes the odds to save a sun bear. When endlessly curious and tenacious Chang discovers a bear bile farm near her home in Vietnam, she decides to do everything she can to save wild animals - by becoming a conservationist! After teaching herself survival skills, documenting every rainforest plant and animal she sees in her field notebook, and disproving the critics who think she isn' t old or strong enough, Chang is finally accepted as a rescue centre volunteer. But her toughest challenge yet comes when she' s tasked with returning Sorya - the sun bear she raised from infancy - back into the wild. Because despite being a different species, Sorya is Chang' s best friend. And letting a friend go is never easy, even when it' s the right thing to do. With breathtaking art and STEM facts galore, Chang' s daring story is for any young reader, animal lover, and intrepid explorer who' s ready for adventure!
