Power Play
by Michele Martin Bossley
Zach Thomas has just returned from a near season-ending injury, and to make matters worse, now a bully on an opposing team has decided they have unfinished business. Can Zach learn how to stand up to his fear of getting hurt and to the bully?
When Zach Thomas broke his wrist going into the boards early in the hockey season, he thought he was done for the year. But as his Cochrane, Alberta, Pee Wee team gets ready for the play-offs, his doctor tells him he's healed-up enough to pay. Zach isn't so sure.
His fear of being checked hard in the corner makes him very reluctant to head back out on the ice. To make matters worse, a tough guy on an opposing team claims he has unfinished business with Zach. When he gets to talk with an NHL pro, however, Zach learns from experience how to stand up to his fears and to the bully.
Power Play shows how sport helps us face our fears, and overcome them. [Fry Reading Level - 3.3
