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
In a moment of inattention, James loses an important hockey game, and Neil, the team captain, just won’t let it go. Later they scuffle, and in the terrible moment that follows, James is hit by a train. When he comes to, he discovers he’s lost the lower part of his leg.
As James struggles to adapt to his new reality, a visit from the War Amps nets him a new friend, teenaged amputee Tariq, who plays soccer and challenges James to think beyond his disability.
It takes a return to the ice and some help from a secret friend to get James back on the right track and into the game.
