Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen

Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen

After his anger erupts into violence, Cole, in order to avoid going to prison, agrees to participate in a sentencing alternative based on the Native American Circle Justice, and he is sent to a remote Alaskan Island where an encounter with a huge Spirit Bear changes his life.

“Mikaelsen’s portrayal of this angry, manipulative, damaged teen is dead on” — School Library Journal (starred review) "[Cole's] solitary life on the island is just the ticket for Paulsen fans, who will appreciate the survival story." — The Bulletin “Mikaelsen paints a realistic portrait of an unlikable young punk.” — Kirkus Reviews “An excellent companion to Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet and Allan Eckert’s Incident at Hawk’s Hill.” — ALA Booklist “[Cole’s story] will fascinate young and old, and have everyone waiting for the sequel.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
