Winning a junior ice hockey championship might not mean a lot to the average person, but it means everything to the residents of Beartown, a community slowly being eaten alive by unemployment and the surrounding wilderness. A victory like this would draw national attention to the ailing town: it could attract government funding and an influx of talented athletes who would choose Beartown over the big nearby cities. A victory like this would certainly mean everything to Amat, a short, scrawny teenager who is treated like an outcast everywhere but on the ice; to Kevin, a star player just on the cusp of securing his golden future in the NHL; and to Peter, their dedicated general manager whose own professional hockey career ended in tragedy. At first, it seems like the team might have a shot at fulfilling the dreams of their entire town. But one night at a drunken celebration following a key win, something happens between Kevin and the general manager's daughter--and the next day everything seems to have changed. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected. With so much riding on the success of the team, the line between loyalty and betrayal becomes difficult to discern. At last, it falls to one young man to find the courage to speak the truth that it seems no one else wants to hear. Fredrik Backman knows that we are forever shaped by the places we call home, and in this emotionally powerful, sweetly insightful story, he explores what can happen when we carry the heavy weight of other people's dreams on our shoulders"-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from the Swedish. 586 8 $a 2019 Lincoln Award Nominee 650 0 $a Hockey stories. 650 0 $a Scandals $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Sweden $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Hockey stories. 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Humorous. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Hockey stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958593 650 7 $a Scandals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01106361 651 7 $a Sweden. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204537 651 7 $a Sweden $v Fiction. $2 history 650 7 $a Hockey $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Scandals $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Sweden $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Hockey stories. $2 unknown 650 7 $a Scandals. $2 unknown 655 0 $a Hockey stories. 655 4 $a Domestic fiction. 655 4 $a Fiction. 655 7 $a Hockey stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726641 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 unknown 700 1 $a Smith, Neil $q (Neil Andrew), $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Backman, Fredrik, 1981- $t Beartown. $d New York : Atria Books, 2017 $z 9781501160783 $w (DLC) 2017000383 830 0 $a Beartown ; $v 1. 856 42 $3 More Info $i Input this URL in a browser to get HTML More Info data. $q HTML $u http://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DECRead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=1501160761&sessionid=0&srcdbname=worldcat&key=3be3adf1a5956940384cc34781fc67fcdecf629de17c2471bc84dfc9d5209770&ectype=MOREINFO $x OCLC EC 941 $a 4 $n 1 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20220802153340.0 $n 11 952 $l DRPC413 $d 20220105135047.0 $n 15 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211209132555.0 $n 10 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20210617144645.0 $n 15 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=262A54FCAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
