Touching Spirit Bear

Reviewed by Jessica

• This book is really good. This book is about a boy, Cole Matthews who thinks that he has the worst life in the world. His father beats on him, and his mother completely ignores him. So he takes all his anger out on other people. One day Cole beats up his ninth-grade classmate to the point where he has brain damage. Cole “says” he wants to change, so he chooses to go through Circle Justice. Circle Justice sends Cole to an Iceland for a year, but Cole destroys all his supplies and tries to run away and is sent back to Minneapolis. Right before Cole goes back a Spirit Bear attacks him. Now when Cole goes back he finally realizes that he might have to go to jail.
