Touching Spirit Bear class sets: questions teachers ask

What size class set of Touching Spirit Bear should I order?

Order one copy per student: 25, 30 or 35 copies covers most classes, and many teachers add one for themselves. Every copy is priced at the volume tier for the whole quantity, so a class set of 30 is $7.07 a copy. Ordering for several classes at once moves you into lower tiers; the volume pricing table on this page shows each break.

Will every student get the same edition?

Yes. Every copy on your order is the same edition: the HarperCollins paperback, ISBN 9780060734008, 320 pages. Page numbers match for the whole class, so everyone can turn to the same page. Teaching from a different edition? Search for its ISBN, or ask us to find it.

How far ahead should we order for the first day of school?

Order at least 10 business days before you need the books in the classroom (11 from mid-November through December, our holiday rush). For a fall start, most schools order between May and July; for a unit that starts after winter break, order by early December. Free shipping on most orders over $95 in the contiguous US.

Can our school pay with a purchase order?

Yes. Email your PO to [email protected] or fax it to 866-522-1957, or order online and reference the PO at checkout. Purchase orders are Net 30 from the invoice date for approved accounts. Our W-9 is on the purchase orders page, and we keep your state-issued tax-exemption certificate on file for future orders.

About the book

Touching Spirit Bear (Spirit Bear #1)

In his Nautilus Award-winning classic Touching Spirit Bear, author Ben Mikaelson delivers a powerful coming-of-age story of a boy who must overcome the effects that violence has had on his life.

After severely injuring Peter Driscal in an empty parking lot, mischief-maker Cole Matthews is in major trouble. But instead of jail time, Cole is given another option: attend Circle Justice, an alternative program that sends juvenile offenders to a remote Alaskan Island to focus on changing their ways. Desperate to avoid prison, Cole fakes humility and agrees to go.

While there, Cole is mauled by a mysterious white bear and left for dead. Thoughts of his abusive parents, helpless Peter, and his own anger cause him to examine his actions and seek redemption—from the spirit bear that attacked him, from his victims, and, most importantly, from himself.

Ben Mikaelsen paints a vivid picture of a juvenile offender, examining the roots of his anger without absolving 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.

A strong choice for independent reading, sharing in the classroom, homeschooling, and book groups.
