Despite her impressive hockey skills, Kyla Woodson’s first year of high school isn’t going as planned. The varsity team didn’t recruit any freshmen, so she’s stuck on JV unless she can impress the coach enough to be added to the roster mid-season. But with an old rival also vying for a spot on varsity, plus dealing with her parents’ recent divorce and her mom’s irritating new boyfriend, Kyla has more to worry about than just her game and fights to keep her temper in check. As the pressure mounts, will Kyla be able to keep her cool off the rink and on it and skate to win? A glossary, writing prompts, discussion questions, and bonus hockey facts make this action-packed sports story as engaging and educational as it is exciting.
About the author
Jake MaddoxAuthor
Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.
