I had to read this one for the Abe award, and I wasn't looking forward to it. It looked too much like a Hatchet knock-off. And I kinda think it is.
Cole is a 15 year old rich kid of divorced parents who drink too much and abuse/neglect him. He lashes out and becomes quite the hoodlum. After bashing a kid's head into the sidewalk, he gets the option of Circle Justice. He thinks it's a joke at first, but eventually changes after being mauled by a white "spirit" bear on a deserted Alaskan island. I didn't like the bear concept, but other than that, I loved the old Indian dude, his probation officer, and Cole's personal growth.
