An incredible animal adventure series for fans of Narnia and Wolves of the Beyond! A few weeks ago, Spencer Plain had never been to Bearhaven. He was rebuilding a computer and eating peanut butter toast and going to school. Normal human things. But now his parents are missing, he's living with a family of bears and learning how to speak Ragayo (the bears' language), and he has already been on a rescue mission that saved two cubs and their mother.

It starts with a chase. When Spencer Plain is pulled out of school in the middle of the day, he never expects to be speeding down the highway with his uncle, trying to outpace the car that's tailing them. And he certainly never thought he'd find himself fleeing from a bear through the woods. And when he hears the bear say, "We've been expecting you," Spencer knows he's just uncovered a whole world he'd never imagined. He's brought to Bearhaven, a secret oasis his parents created for bears.

Jane Austen spends her days writing and matchmaking in the small countryside village of Steventon, until a ball at Godmersham Park propels her into a new world where she yearns for a romance of her own. But whether her heart will settle on a young lawyer, a clever Reverend, a wealthy childhood friend, or a mysterious stranger is anyone's guess.

Ever since Spencer Plain's parents disappeared, he's been staying in Bearhaven - a secret city where bears talk, go to school, develop secret technology, and plan missions to rescue others who need help. Spencer's been planning, too. He's in training as an operative with the Bear Guard so that he's ready to go help rescue his parents. They've been captured by Pam, who runs an illegal ring of rare animal trading and has been training an army of bears under his control.

In the final Secrets of Bearhaven adventure, the whole city of Bearhaven has to stop the danger that's on its way, once and for all! Spencer Plain is ready to help build a new Bearhaven - a place where bears live in community and help rescue other bears around the world. But the city itself is in trouble now - the evil Pam wants to capture the bears and sell them, and it's up to the Council to move the city to a safe, new location. Except that Pam shows up right in the middle of their move, cutting off Spencer from his parents and kidnapping most of the Bearhaven bears.

An orphan from London's East End, a fugitive from the poorhouse, Violet Cooper was tired of sleeping on stoops and being hungry and cold. But she dared to enter a world forbidden to her and her kind. Even marriage to a gentle elderly knight and the title Lady Goodwin could not open closed doors, stop the cold stares, or hush the shadowy rumors of murder....
