The Assassin's Pact: Flurry the Bear, Book 6 is an epic fantasy novel for children and preteens written by J.S. Skye. Boaz, the lion, isn’t all that impressed with what he sees as Flurry’s great and daring rescue of Shinyuu and the other captives whom Naphal and the Gatemakers were preparing to drag through a black hole into their own dimension. Boaz sees it as showboating and wanting to be the center of attention, but Drizzle believes that Flurry really does care after all. As the Fuzzies and their companions make their way back to Ursus, each has been forged into bigger, more authentic versions of themselves as a result of their adventures. But Boaz feels belittled and betrayed by the fact that Honja, the little rabbit, really knew their language all the time even if he never used it. All the effort Boaz made to learn Honja’s own language seems to have been useless and unappreciated.

Honja had always been frightened of speaking their language, fearing ridicule for making mistakes, but Boaz had to realize that about his former friend. Caboose now had protective armor which was perfect for the little polar bear who was apt to fall into the most precarious of situations. Boaz was now the organizational genius of their small team, the holder of gold and navigational devices, and the tall lion, Noah, had become highly proficient at using a staff for protection under the tutelage of Chingu, the red panda. Drizzle had yet to tell the others that he wouldn’t be going home again. His place was now at Chingu’s side. He would be missed by Flurry and the others, but they could understand how he had made that choice. Flurry had also been greatly changed by the experiences he had survived and the battles he had been part of. He was no longer the pampered, vain and self-centred teddy cub who adored pirates. Flurry was growing up. Still, however, the Fuzzies were oh so eager to see Mommy again and to feel the comfort and warmth of their bedroom at home.

J.S. Skye’s epic fantasy novel for children and preteens, The Assassin's Pact: Flurry the Bear, Book 6, finds the Fuzzies more than ready for the security of home, but another adventure awaits them on the way. There’s magic in this series that somehow gets the reader so involved in the struggles and triumphs of Flurry, the Fuzzies and their other companions that one actually forgets that the main characters are stuffed plush toys. They’ve magically grown into living, breathing creatures who, through the course of this series, have begun the process of evolving into their best selves. Most obvious is, of course, Flurry, whose legendary exploits jar in the most gentle and humorous fashion with his obvious lack of vocabulary skills. Book 6 builds beautifully on the previous books in the series, but one can also detect the influences of Homer’s Odyssey and Tolkien’s indomitable hobbits in the spirits of these stalwart companions and their longing for home and hearth. The story is action-packed and filled with the adventure Flurry fans have come to expect from this series. Dare one hope for more Flurry adventures? This reader certainly does. The Assassin's Pact: Flurry the Bear, Book 6 is most highly recommended.

When their journey is ambushed by a pack of felines, they discover a startling alliance with their former enemy, Isangrim, and his wolf pack who plan to enact revenge against Flurry and Vallidore. As they fight for survival, Flurry discovers a startling revelation that could prove to be more dire than anything they've faced before. Flurry must band together with his friends to stop Isangrim and return home.

Another must-read adventure from J.S. Skye! Flurry has come a long way since his journey began. He's gone up against wolves, pirates, and Jack Frost, and established himself as a hero. He's more grounded, more team orientated, and has a closer relationship with his sister, but with the same spark and innocence. The wolf Isangrim was one of the villains from the second Flurry book, and has returned completely obsessed by the need for vengeance. More of Vallidore's history and his relationship with Flurry is explored, as he devotes himself to protecting Flurry and his friends. He takes the role of almost a father figure, for he guides them and acts as their protector.

Flurry and his friends are heroes. They've been in battles, saved lives, and learned to work together, but through it all Skye keeps them grounded. They may be talking teddy bears and animals, but they're still children. They miss their mom, tease each other, and view the world the innocent way children would. Betrayal is an undercurrent throughout the story as Vallidore reveals the betrayal he faced at the paws of Isangrim. But it's also seen with Boaz and Honja, as Boaz doesn't want to forgive Honja after he discovers his friend can speak their language and kept it a secret this whole time. Charming and delightful, The Assassin's Pact continues Flurry's journey as a hero, bringing him back to an old enemy and packing a lot of action, humor, and heart into another wonderful and dangerous adventure.

When we last left Flurry, we saw the return of an adversary believed to have been killed. Infuriated by the teddy bear cub's continual interference, the enemy had decided to take matters into their own hands and sent Theran to hunt him down and destroy him. In the wake of his last adventure, Flurry had discovered a new purpose, the desire to help others, but not everyone believes his motives are as pure and selfless as he implies. After all, Flurry had always loved the attention, and his new heroics were earning him it in spades.

Reunited with his sister, Fall, who has come to lead them home, Flurry and his team begin their latest adventure. But reaching their homeland proves more of a challenge than they anticipated; allies part ways and, with a cut-throat gang of feline assassins on his tail, Flurry must use everything he knows, and the relationships and trust he's built to ensure their survival. Join Flurry and his friends as they face dangerous odds and hidden ruins in J.S. Skye's Flurry the Bear Book 6:The Assassin's Pact.
