Hannah Gold: British author of The Last Bear, The Lost Whale and Finding Bear (with Levi Pinfold on art) — gentle, environmentally serious middle-grade animal-adventure novels for ages 8–11.

Hannah Gold is a British author whose middle-grade animal-adventure novels have become one of the most reliable mid-century-style nature-and-conservation reading shelves in current UK publishing. Best known for The Last Bear (2021, Blue Peter Book Award), The Lost Whale, Finding Bear, The Wild Robot-adjacent Always with You and others, illustrated throughout by Levi Pinfold. Gold's voice is gentle, emotionally honest, environmentally serious, in the tradition of Michelle Magorian or Michael Morpurgo but with a sharper contemporary climate-anxiety thread. A reliable middle-grade author for ages 8–11, especially for animal-loving children processing environmental change.
