Table of ContentsReviews""Mills writes with economy, strong pacing, and crisply delineated characters...A worthwhile cautionary tale, accessible and appealing to reluctant readers.""-- ""Kirkus Reviews"" ""A hi-lo book that appeals to reluctant readers who would rather be on the ice than reading in the stands. Easy-to-read font, lots of space on the page and simple sentences are nicely disguised by hockey jargon to make the book feel like a high school read. Mills successfully captures the angst of hockey teens struggling with bullying, the pressure to perform, the loyalty of friendship and the difficulty of determining which adults to trust... A winner for readers of sports fiction and would be a welcome addition to any library."" -- ""YAdudebooks"" ""A very intriguing and emotional novel...If you want a book that will make you want to hug it --Wingman could be that book for you! Highly Recommended.""-- ""CM: Canadian Review of Materials"" Mills writes with economy, strong pacing, and crisply delineated characters...A worthwhile cautionary tale, accessible and appealing to reluctant readers. -- Kirkus Reviews Author InformationJean Mills is the author of a number of books for young people, including Skating Over Thin Ice, which was shortlisted for a Red Maple Award, and Larkin on the Shore.
