Ghost Of Spirit Bear

Description

Cole Matthews faced death and survived a remote Alaskan island, where he was sentenced to a year of exile after beating another boy. Now, having made peace with himself and his victim, Peter Driscal, Cole must face his biggest challenge: high school. In a school where hate and tension are getting close to the boiling point, the monster of rage hibernating inside Cole begins to stir.

He has to change his world.
