After everything that the citizens of Beartown have gone through, they are struck yet another blow when they hear that their beloved local hockey team will soon be disbanded. What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in Hed, take in that fact. Amidst the mounting tension between the two rivals, a surprising newcomer is handpicked to be Beartown's new hockey coach. Soon a new team starts to take shape around Amat, the fastest player you'll ever see; Benji, the intense lone wolf; and Vidar, a born to be bad troublemaker. But bringing this team together proves to be a challenge as old bonds are broken, new ones are formed, and the enmity with Hed grows more and more acute. As the big match approaches, the not-so-innocent pranks and incidents between the communities pile up and their mutual contempt grows deeper. By the time the last game is finally played, a resident of Beartown will be dead, and the people of both towns will be forced to wonder if, after all they've been through, the game they love can ever return to something simple and innocent. "-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a A small community tucked deep in the forest, Beartown is home to tough, hardworking people who don't expect life to be easy or fair. They've always been able to take pride in their local ice hockey team, so it's a cruel blow when they hear that Beartown ice hockey might soon be disbanded. What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in the neighboring town of Hed, take in that fact. As the tension mounts between the two adversaries, a newcomer arrives who gives Beartown hockey a surprising new coach-- and a chance at a comeback. -- adapted from publisher info. 546 $a In English, translated from the Swedish. 650 0 $a Hockey $x Tournaments $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hockey stories. 650 0 $a City and town life $z Sweden $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 6 $a Hockey $x Tournois $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a ReÌcits de hockey. 650 6 $a Vie urbaine $z SueÌde $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Livres en gros caracteÌres. 650 7 $a large print books. $2 aat 650 7 $a City and town life. $2 fast 650 7 $a Hockey stories. $2 fast 650 7 $a Hockey $x Tournaments. $2 fast 650 7 $a Large type books. $2 fast 651 0 $a Sweden $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Sweden. 655 2 $a Fictional Work 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast 655 7 $a Sports fiction. $2 fast 655 7 $a Sports fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Smith, Neil $q (Neil Andrew), $e translator. 700 1 $a Backman, Fredrik, $d 1981- $t Bjornstad. $l English. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print core series. 941 $a 28 945 $a lpt 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013443.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409031441.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104015051.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012901.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20230718121211.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20180612010150.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20180615010021.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180704040215.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20180712014733.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20180828010925.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20180828012611.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20180828014435.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20180828015804.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180907012130.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180907014945.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030725.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20181127020758.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20190604034122.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20191231011357.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110074453.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20200110091100.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20200721010117.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722055925.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215023529.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220406010129.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518022527.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909050918.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20221004021755.0 956 $a https://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EACC8CD66E0511E89B26E16797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
