A new hockey team, a scary coach, teammates he has to get to know, and a fear of heights that saps his confidence. In this collection of poetry for ages 9 and up, a young boy discovers that every transition brings its own share of upheavals—from which one inevitably emerges a little wiser.
With this debut children’s book, Sophie Dora Swan offers a story that sensitively illustrates that the greatest victories don’t always happen on the ice.
