The Voice of the Tree

Eddie Phelps is a thirteen-year-old hockey player with no slap shot and then one day, walking home from school he takes a shot at a horse chestunut lying on the sidewalk and drives it through a classmate's window. That begins a strange transformation as Eddie discovers that he is descended from a long line of Druid healers. He discovers powers he never knew he had. He discovers that he can hear what the trees are saying. He discovers that he has the power to heal even the most desperate of injuries and diseases. In the process he also discovers that having such extraordinary powers may not be very easy to live with, no matter how great a slap shot you develop.
