Bio: Josh is off to a hockey summer camp, where he rooms with Peter Kuiksak, a talented player from the North West Territories. When Josh learns that some of the guys are planning to pull a dangerous prank on Peter, he knows he must do the right thing. This is a book about bullying.

“This is an old fashioned sports story that delivers the basic message that fair play prevails over bullying. Josh’s diabetes adds another dimension to the conventional goings-on, however, and the detailed and accurate accounts of the rigorous practice sessions should win over many young fans of the sport.”

“For those reading Ms. Nicholson for the first time may be surprised at how good she is. A first round pick!”
