Touching Spirit Bear

In Touching Spirit Bear this book is about a fifteen year old boy named Cole Matthews. He has been fighting and stealing for years. The punishment for smashing Peter Driscal’s skull into the sidewalk was to be banished to an Island in Alaska by the Native American Circle Justice. Cole hates the island and every one who is making him go. He thinks it is all a game and he is just waiting for it to start. Later on he burns the shed and all the supplies inside. He then tries to swim to where Garvey and Edwin came from to find a boat to get on so he could run away to somewhere else. But the water was to cold and the tide took him back to the beach. He then tries to kill the spirit bear and the bear attacks him back and breaks his right arm, his hips and rib cages, he also sliced his chest. Cole laid in the woods for a couple of days and in misery. He finally decided not to give up and to live. He ate a mouse and bugs to keep him alive and have energy. Then Garvey and Edwin came and went to check on Cole and they found him lying there almost dead. Later on Cole goes back to the island to rebuild the shed and tries to restart all over again and to prove the Circle of Justice he really wants to change. I recommend you read this book was very stressful and if you want to find out what happens to Cole you should read this book.
