Touching Spirit Bear

                   I read Touching Spirit Bear. The author of the book is Ben Mikaelsen. This Cole Mathews  always was the bad kid until he did something really wrong. For that he finds out a lot of things about himself and what he should do. I'm not going to lie, i chose this book because i liked the cover!
                  Cole Mathews was always a bad kid growing up. he always got in fights and got in trouble by everyone. But one day he got into a fight and made a guy maybe have brain damage forever. So his two choices are prison or circle justice. Knowing that he didn't want to go to prison he chose circle justice. Cole is sent to Alaskan island for one year for what he has done. He doesn't have the best time there either, he got horribly attacked by a white bear. After the attack he starts to change his mind about everyone else but him is to blame about his bad life. He needs to realize that in order to live. 
                   One thing i liked about this book was it could reflect on any kids life that has the same problems. Another ting i like about the book is Cole just has to come to his senses to save him. One thing i didn't like about this book was some parts were boring. Another thing i didn't like about the book was it was kind of too descriptive. I think people from ages 12 to 15 would be appropriate for this novel. I would recomend it to a friends. I think boys and girls would like this book.
