Luckily, he finds a tight-knit group of friends who are elite athletes in their own sports to help show him the ropes.Things seem to be going well for the rookie—but the hockey team captain has it in for him.

Southwest Ohio and Neighboring Libraries (SWON)
"A great choice for reluctant high school readers who are interested in sports fiction...The characters are highly relatable to athletes. The author did a great job of capturing the athlete's personalities. The short chapters make this a quick read."Book Details
