Emily is tired of always playing goalie during floor hockey just because she's in a wheelchair. When one of her classmates volunteers to play goalie, Emily jumps at the chance to try a new position. Her classmates work together to create a hockey stick that Emily can use from her wheelchair. Will she score a goal? This early chapter book offers a fun and inviting approach to character education, complete with a special activity reinforcing social emotional learning skills.
