Bearable Days Book One: The Orphanege By: Kelly Lee Smith

This is a great book. A boy named Jamie and his teddy bear Simon are sent to an orphanage while people look for Jamie's parents who seem to have disappeared right under thin air. The headmistress of the orphanage though, is cold-hearted and mean. The moment Jamie comes she takes Simon away and doesn't give him back. Some how, during a storm though, lightning hits Simon and he becomes alive. This is an awesome, amazing book. I would recommend it readers of all ages and especially those who like teddy bears.  --Madeleine
