For centuries, the bears of Haven have lived quiet lives, high in the mountains at the edge of the great Precipice. That all changes for a young cub named Growly when he receives a mysterious message. With just his backpack and glider, Growly sets out on a desperate journey to find his grandfather's long lost friend...and to find a way back home.

Begin is the first book in the Growly Trilogy. The story continues in the second and third books, Widewater and Morning. Written for the eight to 12-year-old, it is captivating to listen aloud for younger children.

My kids (8, 5, & 3) and I loved listening to this story! A wholesome story, engaging story and plot, and left us wanting more! We'll end up buying the paperback copy of the trilogy, but I do really hope to see the rest of the trilogy on audible soon!! Please, oh, please!! :)

My boys and I enjoyed listening to this wonderful story. We wish the others were on audible as well! Listening to this one has inspired my oldest son to read the next book, to find out what happens to the adventurers.

Wonderful adventure

we wish they had audiobooks of the rest of the series because my 7 and 4 year olds absolutely loved this book. very sweet, not scary, and no unkind/inappropriate words/topics which is rare in new childrens books

Such a great book and audio recording. As a young father with children this is great for a drive. The goodness of the noble characters in the face of danger and trial, the mystery to be solved, and the pleasant, soothing female voice of the reader makes for some exciting, heartwarming, and downright wholesome entertainment!! My 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter especially enjoy listening to this book with me. We were sad to see that, so far this lady has not recorded the rest of the series into audio books! We'll just have to read the rest of the books the old fashioned way :)

Heartwarming story and very pleasant voice

My kids (ages 7 & 5) and I instantly fell in love with Growly and his adventure. We love that the story is so positive (no bad guys) and although there is suspense that keeps them begging for the next chapter, it isn’t too much for my more sensitive kiddo. We are definitely getting the hard copies of these books and can’t wait for more audiobooks (hint, hint, Audible!). We’ve already listened to this one several times through. A fun, wholesome adventure story.

I could not continue to listen because the narration was so terrible, unfortunately. I'll buy the book and read it instead.

awful, monitored narration
