Book One
When a volcano wakes, only engineering can save the valley.
Monty the Polar Bear is leading a routine geology tour with a group of young cubs when the mountain beneath their feet starts to pulse. What begins as a tremor becomes a full eruption, and suddenly the BEAR team must use every engineering discipline they have to evacuate a village, bridge a collapsing ravine, and outsmart a mountain that refuses to follow anyone's plan.
This is not a story about magic. No one flies. No one has special powers. What they have is better: knowledge, teamwork, and the courage to build solutions under pressure.
The Burning Mountain is the first story in BFOE, short for Bear Facts Of Engineering - a story-first STEM adventure franchise that spans illustrated books, animated video stories, unforgettable bear characters, and engineering-led problem-solving for young audiences and their families.
"The bucket has made its choices."
