A Bear Named Trouble

"Trouble" is a young grizzly bear, living in the wilds of Alaska, but near Anchorage. One day he is kicked in the face by a female moose, and injured. Unable to find food easily, he wanders into town, and eventually digs his way into the zoo. After three break-ins, he is captured and sent to the Duluth Minnesota zoo. This is a fictionalized account, by Marion Dane Bauer, of the real "Trouble". Visit the Zoo's website for pictures and more information about Trouble. The book was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2005.
