Temmi and the Flying Bears (Oxford Fantasy)

Temmi is furious when the Witch-Queen's soldiers come to the village to steal one of the flying bears-even more so when he discovers that they've taken Cush, the youngest cub, who is Temmi's favourite bear. Temmi is determined to rescue Cush, but instead finds himself captured and taken to the
Ice Castle where he will be a prisoner too. Escape seems impossible - unless Temmi can somehow win over the ice-hearted Queen. First published in 1998, this novel is now reissued in a smaller mass-market format.
