Is this journey's end . . . or just the beginning?
Toklo, Kallik, Lusa, and Ujurak have finally reached the Last Great Wilderness, the legendary bear paradise they've been searching for. But while his companions think they've come to the end of their long journey, Ujurak feels a deep unrest. Is this truly where they're meant to be?
In the Last Great Wilderness, one by one the bears begin to remember their true natures. Toklo feels the urge to hunt caribou and mark his territory as a brown bear should, and Kallik feels the pull of the ice within her. It's only Lusa, happy just to be in the wild, who fears the day when her friends will leave her to follow their own paths.
As the bears adjust to this new life, disaster strikes. The friends are forced to venture into the world of the flat-faces to save the life of one of their own. Once there, the end of their journey seems farther away than ever, as a new path spreads out before them.

"I thought that this book was great because it was very adventurous and had some exciting twists and turns. Sometimes the things that happend surprised me and I always couldn't wait to see what would happen next. At the Last Great Wilderness, the bears start to remember their true natures. Toklo the grizzly bear longs to hunt caribou and make scratch marks on the trees to mark his territory. Kallik the polar bear is still not comepletely fond of the ground and wishes she could go back to the ice. All the bears thought that this would finally be the end of their long journey and hardships but even at The Last Great Wliderness humans were taking over everything just for oil. So as one journey ends for The Last Great Wilderness a whole completely new journey unfolds in front of them as they start to save the wild. This book interested me most because the reason they have a new journey is because of their shape-shifting companion Ujurak. Ujurak is a bear but he can turn into other animals and humans. It made the book interesting."
— Grace (5 out of 5 stars)
“The suspenseful conclusion will build in an eager audience for the next installment.”
— Publishers Weekly“Hunter creates a richly sensuous world filled with cruelty, beauty, tenderness, savagery and just enough underlying legendary background to add mystery…fans of animal fantasies will haunt the shelves for the next volume.”
— Kirkus, praise for the series“The book’s environmental message speaks loudly and serves as a much-needed reminder of the damage humankind is capable of inflicting on Mother Earth…This enjoyable read with a message speaks to the heart and consciousness of the reader.”
— Children’s Literature" This book is no different from all the other books. All the author is trying to tell us is that we are destroying the habitats and also our survival. The author is trying to convey this message into words by using the children. I bet the author is hoping that the children will be able to notice the messages and that they will try their best to protect our habitats. "
— Alex, 2/18/2014" 2 days after I bought the book I finished it, and I can't believe that Ujurak was actually TAKEN to a hospital!!! Thats awesome! Well, not good cause he's separated, but- ya' know what I mean. All in all, I loved it!!! "
— Chloe, 2/5/2014" The Last Wilderness was most defiantly an amazing book. It really showed how the three bears (and one shape sifter) had to work together to survive and find their way home. "
— Lindeylove, 2/1/2014" I like Warriors a lot better than Seekers. Not that I have anything against bears, it's just that I think in Warriors the characters are developed much better, and the plot is more clear. I honestly didn't really know what they were trying to do in this series until I read this book. I heard that there's going to be a second six-book series for Seekers. It's kind of funny how Erin Hunter's series keep getting extended...not that I mind, for Warriors, at least. This Seekers book was a bit weird, especially in a few parts with Ujurak. "
— ~Megan~, 1/31/2014" Well, in this book the four bears's adventures stopped to explore the last great wilderness and also realise that it's not the end of their journey. Yeah that's it nothing happens in the book only a missing friend trouble and rescuing him. I didn't like it but I think it's a needed bok in the series. it's fine. can't wait for the 5th. "
— Ash, 1/14/2014" Kallik, Toklo, Lusa and guided by their shape shifiting cub Ujurak. They made it to the last part of their journey. They have made it to the paradise,the Last wilderness! Is this the end of their journey or what? "
— Camden.cota11-12, 1/14/2014" You are never too young for a great animal book! "
— Kayla, 1/12/2014" I especially liked seeing the story from Ujurak's point of view, and how his abilities were able to help them out in so many ways. It was especially interesting to see him able to interact with the "flat-faces." "
— Jennifer, 1/9/2014" What? I thought the Last Widernass wasn't supposed to have humans. Now the Foursome are going out onto the ice. We'll see how that goes. "
— Sarah, 12/27/2013" i like seekers but this book was such let down... "

— Sarah, 12/7/2013" The Last Wilderness-- Fourth Seekers book. So far amazing. "
— Vixenfur, 12/7/2013" I liked this series, but after this one I am going to stop reading them. They all have very interesting ideas, but the books as a series are getting too tedious...I had to drag myself out at the end! "
— Dorion, 7/30/2013" This book shows that if you beleive you can, you know you can. It tells you that, no matter the situation, what you think is right isn't always right. "
— Shayla, 6/28/2013" Nice chapter of the Seekers series. I like how Ujurak was using his talents more, and the characters are growing up. "
— Sarah, 5/18/2013" 4 out of 5! cant seem to get a hold of the last book. I really want to know what happens to them all! "
— Rs, 5/9/2013" I want to read and I have to read The Last Wilderness "
— Marion, 2/5/2013" I liked this book a lot. Could have been better and more interesting though. But everyone should give this book a try. BEWARE: it's a hard book to find. "
— Tara, 10/2/2012" i seriously think the author needs to stop, think, reflect, and find a new angle. the plot's getting worn and old. "
— Alice, 5/13/2012" It was good because they cross smoke mountain and reach the last great wilderness. It was a mystery when Ujurak said the journey was only the beginning. "
— Kelly, 4/10/2012" A great story. The first seekers book I read. "
— Ryry, 3/14/2012" Wow, the books in this series seem to be getting worse as they go. This one was very dull and I had a hard time even getting through it. It was very boring and I found myself not caring at all. "
— Ipodshuffle266, 12/16/2011" These books remind me of environmental extremists. The bear characters are nicely developed and I've kept reading the series because I enjoy the bears, but the plot is so annoying I don't care if I read any more. "
— Anne, 9/7/2011" This book really showed how much the gang cared for the wild and finally started of the main plot. I like how Urjurak stayed flat-face all the time:) "
— 1, 8/5/2011" This was probably the most adventurous one in the series. It was mainly based around the bears helping Ujurak. The ending was really good because it sets up the next books perfectly. "
— Austin, 7/31/2011" I think this book was really good!, but there was a few parts I found quite disappointing but for the most part i really liked it! :-) "
