What if he lets his teammates down? What if he can't make it pro? And the biggest what-if of all, the one he keeps to himself -- what if he's like his dad, whose life is controlled by anxiety that has only gotten worse since Jonah's mom died in a car crash? To prove that he's not like that, Jonah is determined to succeed in the high-stress role of goalie. He and his best friend Ty have big plans for their hockey futures. But when Ty suffers a medical crisis during a pivotal game, Jonah's anxiety ramps up to new levels. It takes courage to ask for help, but Jonah starts to realize that his team goes beyond the people who lace up their skates with him every week, and maybe it's okay to look for support on and off the ice. From the adrenaline rush of sudden-death overtime to the weight of worrying about letting your teammates -- and yourself -- down, this novel in verse will hook readers from the first line. 521 1 $a Ages 10-13. 521 2 $a Grades 5-8. 586 $a A Junior Library Guild selection (JLG) 650 0 $a Anxiety $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Hockey stories. 650 0 $a Novels in verse. 650 1 $a Anxiety $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Hockey $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Novels in verse. 941 $a 1 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20240202022418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4267A4CC19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
