One Man to Beat

Conflict on and off the ice in this sports/mystery story faces a young American hockey player when he transfers from a private school in the United States to a public school in Canada. Facing expulsion from school and suspension from the championship game, he faces tough choices in exposing the real culprits, discovering, in the process, that the wisdom he was taught at home and at school actually works and that there's a lot more to wisdom than simply being intelligent. (Inspirational, grades 5-12; solid values are subtly woven throughout an action-packed story designed to captivate young readers.)
