Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen

A teen named Cole Mathews smashes a kid’s head causing permanent damage. Instead of jail he’s deserted in Alaska. Yet being mauled and almost killed changes this behavior. This was really the first book that encouraged me to pick up books. I could not stop once I began. It has action on top of action. It changed my behavior too and taught me to be so grateful for what I have.
