    About this series

    Everything should be great for young hockey player Sam Parker. He has just turned twelve. He plays center on The Rockets, the team he’s been on since Mites. His best friend, Jill, is the goal tender. And he just had his birthday.

    So why isn’t he happy?

    It’s simple–because his parents are still getting a divorce.

    The bombshell news that landed last fall has a daily impact on Sam. His life is changing–in more ways than just this–and he struggles to keep on top of everything. School, friends, shuttling between his house and his dad’s new apartment… it all seems too much. He feels like he’s double-shifting and doesn’t know if he’s coming or going.

    So, Sam devises a plan to get his parents back together. All it will take is becoming a star player. What could go wrong?

    A lot, it turns out.

      Eleven-year-old Sam Parker is a hockey player who has always had fun playing the game. But that was before a bully at school starts hounding him. To make matters worse, even the refs seem to have it in for him, making a series of bad calls that costs his team a game. Flustered by the constant hassle from the bully and his gang and frustrated with the way things are going on the ice, Sam decides to take things into his own hands to solve both problems. His choices only make things worse, and his troubles seem to pile up. Worse yet, no one seems to understand — not his teachers, not his parents, and not even his best friend, Jill. Sam will have to figure out how to solve this problem and learn how to deal with frustrating and unfair events – both on and off the ice. Play through it. Life is hockey. Hockey is Life. About the Author Frank Scalise served in the US Army from 1986-91, and as a police officer from 1993-2013. He retired as a captain. Frank writes children's and middle grade hockey novels, as well as novels for adults. Those featuring hockey are born from a deep love of the sport. Despite coming to the game in his late 20s, he remains a fan and recreational player today.
