About This Book

A teenage boarder at a preparatory school adjusts to campus life while becoming the hockey team's goalkeeper, balancing practice, scholarship contests, and house routines. The plot traces friendships strained and restored, episodes of rivalry and mystery that test trust and honor, and on-ice competitions that foreground leadership and teamwork. Through small domestic incidents, disciplinary moments, and athletic trials, the protagonist grows in responsibility and reputation until misunderstandings are cleared and the team's fortunes are decided.
