Against the Boards
by Lorna Schultz Nicholson
Peter has finally made it onto a “AAA” Bantam team and is playing hockey in Edmonton. But this shy boy from the Northwest Territories is having a hard time adjusting to his new school and his host family. Before long, Peter’s problems follow him onto the ice. Against the Boards is a compelling story about the difficulties that can arise when you don’t express yourself.
