By Ben Mikaelsen
Within Cole Matthews lie anger, rage and hate. Cole has been stealing and fighting for years. This time he caught Alex Driscal in the, parking lot and smashed his head against the sidewalk. Now, Alex may have permanent brain damage'and Cole is in the Biggest trouble of his life.
Cole is offered Circle Justice: a system based on Native American traditions that attempts to provide healing for the criminal offender, the victim and the, community. With prison as his only alternative, Cole plays along. He says he wants to repent, but in his heart Cole blames his alcoholic mom his, abusive dad, wimpy Alex -- everyone but himself -- for his situation.
Cole receives a one-year banishment to a remote Alaskan island. There, he is mauled by Mysterious white bear of Native American legend. Hideously injured, Cole waits for his death His thoughts shift from from Anger to humility. To survive, he must stop blaming others and take responsibility for his life. Rescuers arrive to save Cole's but it is the attack of the Spirit Bear that may save his soul.
Ben Mikaelsen paints a vivid picture of a juvenile offender, examining the roots without absolving solving him of responsibility for his actions, and questioning a society in which angry people make victims of their peers and communities. Touching Spirit Bear is a poignant testimonial to the power of a pain that can destroy, or lead to healing.
The Comeback Dog
by Jane Resh Thomas
"I don't want another dog! I hate dogs!" Daniel shouted.
Daniel was angry and sad after his old dog Captain died. But one cold winter day he finds another dog hiding in a culvert. She is battered and barely alive, but he wraps her in his parka and carries her home.
Daniel makes the dog a soft bed of rags by the wood stove and feeds her warm broth from a medicine dropper. He names her Lady and watches over her constantly as she begins to get well. And he dreams of how she will someday play with him and love him, the way Captain did.
Bitter disappointment is in store for Daniel, though. When Lady does recover, she responds to his gestures of affection by baring her teeth, snarling, and even running away. How Daniel learns to accept and respect Lady for what she is, makes a moving story of a midwestern boy and his dog.
The warmth and reality of Jane Resh Thomas's writings are enhanced by Troy Howell's perceptive drawings.
