Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen

Summary: It first started when Cole lived in Minnesota. He went to a high school and he got snitched on by a kid named Peter Driscal. He got picked on from Cole many times just for the fun of it. Cole caught Peter in a corner and said "Your a dead man." After school Cole caught Peter outside in the parking lot. Cole attacked Peter and started hitting him hard in the face with his bare fists. Peter tried to escape out of it and walk away to be the better person. Cole jumped Peter and started smashing his head against the sidewalk. Cole had six other people pull him off of Peter to tell him "Chill out dude your killing him." Cole stopped, looked at Peter to see the damage that Cole had done to Peter's face, then he spit on him and said, "Nobody crosses Cole Matthews and gets away with it."
Opinion: Why did Cole beat up Peter? It was because Cole vandalized and broke into an abandoned house. Cole went to school the next day and bragged about what he had done that weekend. It got to Peter and he went straight to the principle and snitched on Cole. That's how Peter got put in the hospital by Cole Matthews.
Recomdation: If a student asked me "Is this a great book to read on my leavel"? I would defintely say yes of course. I loved his book it was like an adventure and wait for the day to go by and come back to class, then read more pages and find out what happens. I know I already read this book but I would read this on my alone time. The book was a little tricky at the begining because it took you back in Cole's past time in his life, but then it was awesome words can't explain it you just have to read it and enjoy it.
