Simon Jackson, a life-long bear lover and activist, travels through the Pacific Northwest in search of the majestic white Kermode bear.
While most teens spend their days in a self-absorbed haze, Simon Jackson was out in the world connecting with anyone who could help him save the spirit bear. For this, Simon became one of Time’s Heroes of the Planet. It’s a remarkable accomplishment for one so young, and an inspiring story for lovers of wilderness of all ages. But his devotion to the cause made him an outcast amongst his peers.
