It’s tough being the new kid.
Jessie McIntyre, 14, is having trouble fitting in at Estevan Junior High. By signing her up with the local girls hockey team, her parents hope to give her a fresh start and help her make new friends, but bullies can be found everywhere—including the dressing room. Power Plays, a gritty tale about the problems facing today’s teens, is sprinkled with humour, heart-pounding hockey action, life lessons, and positive female role models.
Power Plays won a Moonbeam gold medal and was a finalist for three Saskatchewan Book Awards.
