Sinopsis

When you&rsquo,re fourteen, it&rsquo,s hard to be patient, especially when it&rsquo,s your birthday. Yet for Anthony Brooks, any optimism for his future is shattered when his unemployed dad is shot dead in a robbery attempt at a local convenience store. Understandably, Anthony reacts as any kid might, with anger and withdrawal. Given an opportunity to lash out, he is drawn by some older boys into a plan to rob a neighborhood pizza parlor. Anthony is caught and threatened with juvie until, surprisingly, the pizza parlor owner, a washed up NHL hockey player, offers a compromise.&ldquo,Great book for all sports enthusiasts. The courage that Anthony portrays in order to overcome his obstacles and setbacks clearly shows he&rsquo,s a winner on and off the ice. Exciting, thrilling, feel good story.&rdquo,&mdash,Jeff MitchellOHL&rsquo,s Detroit Junior Red WingsLos Angeles KingsDallas StarsGeneral Manager of Suburban Ice, East Lansing&ldquo,Black Ice is a story set in the city and centered on urban issues. Its characters face adversities familiar to young people in urban settings. It captures the attention and imagination of young readers. A valuable story for educators.&rdquo,&mdash,Michael KrystyniakYVS President/SuperintendentCovenant House Academy&ldquo,As a former coach of an inner city hockey team in Detroit, I appreciate first-hand the adversity a young African-American player can face in a traditionally White sport. Brian Webster and Teresa Lee have depicted these struggles authentically in a very serious and entertaining way. I highly recommend Black Ice. Great hockey story!&rdquo,&mdash,Maurice DeweyRetired Lieutenant, Detroit Fire DepartmentFormer Youth Hockey Coach
