New York Times bestseller Faith Erin Hicks is back with a young adult
graphic novel romance about a hotheaded hockey player who asks for
temper management lessons from the cool, calm boy in drama club.
It should have been a night of triumph for Alixa's hockey team. But her mean
teammate Lindsay decided to start up with her usual rude comments and
today Alix, who usually tries to control her anger, let it finally run free. Alix
lashes out and before she knows it, her coach is dragging her off Lindsay, and
the invitation to the Canada National Womena's U18 Teama's summer camp
is on the line.
She needs to learn how to control this anger, and she is sure Ezra, the
popular and poised theater kid from her grade is the answer. So she asks for
his help. But as they hang out and start get closer, Alix learns that there is
more to Ezra than the cool front he puts on. And that maybe this friendship
could become something more
