About BC Books Online

Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
Danny and his friends Petou and Anita live for hockey. So when they are asked to join the Wolves late in the season, they are determined to do their best for the town team. Some of the players, however, start to grumble about the latecomers. Travis, the Wolves' best forward, calls them "the wimps" and makes sure they are ignored on the ice. With the final game of the season looming, Travis is hogging the puck and the Wolves are no longer playing as a team. Danny's older brother is a star winger for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he's home to rest an injury. Can he inspire the players to work together again? And will "the wimps" finally get a chance to show what they can do to help the team? In this sequel to the immensely popular The Moccasin Goalie, Danny and his friends face the biggest challenge ever.
