Customer comments on this selection. A short but well written sequel to a Wonderful BookI am a teacher in 7th grade and have been teaching Touching Spirit Bear for several years to my classes. It is a story that they all have come to love and enjoy. The lessons and inspiration it provides is eye opening. I was excited to read the sequel since the 1st book doesn't reveal what happens to the two boys once they leave the island. I felt this story was a fitting sequel. Both boys have grown a great deal and you can see that in the sequel. The messages once again are a good one and deal with the difficulties a child faces in school. I especially felt the message to the administrators and staff of any school in this book is a powerful one. Too often teachers and administrators forget that students will embrace education only if they feel that the school they attend is a place of their own. This book really shows how students can make the school a part of their own. Students too often have no say in what happens in their education or their school. This story shows how students can be involved and it can have a positive impact. The only down side of this story is I felt it was mostly about the main character Cole. I would like to see another book that perhaps told things from Peter's perspective. The reason is we don't see that he has healed as much as the author wants you to believe. This a a good book and a sequel that any Touching Spirit Bear lover should read.  Stop after the first oneI have never read a Ben Mikaelson book I didn't like.....until now. Touching Spirit Bear is such a great book. This sequel is too cheesy and not very interesting.  Ghost of Spirit BearThis wasn't as good as Touching Spirit Bear, so I was a little disappointed. I am an 8th grade teacher & I read Touching Spirit Bear to my classes every year & every year they are on the edge of their seats. They love the gore & the message about healing & trying to break a cycle (of abuse). I am afraid they won't find this one as appealing or riveting. |
