Bear Necessity by James Gould-Bourn
5.0
Danny's life is in shambles after his wife lost her life in a car accident. His son, Will, has not spoken a word since the accident. Danny hasn't paid his rent in over two months. His landlord is threatening to break his kneecaps if doesn't pay. To top it all off, Danny loses his job.
After watching street performers in the park and seeing that they made decent money, he decides to become a street performer dressed as a panda.
One day, Danny ses three boys picking on Will while he is in the park performing. Danny dressed as the panda breaks it up, and Will says, "Thanks." This is the first word Will has spoken in over a year. Will starts talking to the panda. Danny is afraid that if he tells Will he is the panda, Will will stop talking again. Danny doesn't know what to do.
While the book deal with grief and loss, it very funny and moving.
I loved this book, and I can easily see it turned into a movie.
