Read an Excerpt

I suppose I could be less invisible if I were one of the guys who joked around in the locker room. Or if I broke curfew. Or if I complained. It's just easier to not be noticed. That way people don't expect things from you. There's no pressure, nothing to fear.

Editorial Reviews

Tyler Watson always chooses the safe path, opting to be invisible. But playing it safe is putting his position on his hockey team, the Portland Winter Hawks, at risk. The coach pairs Tyler with Riley Judd, the best and most arrogant player on the Hawks, for a community service project. By being together in a new situation both Tyler and Riley overcome personal hurdles that affect their hockey playing. Tyler realizes that hiding himself is not protection, and Riley learns to care about others and not take his athleticism for granted. They also gain perspective on their own lives and come across an alarming dark side of the program for which they are volunteering. Even non-sports fans will enjoy this book if they give it a chance. It is a story about confidence and overcoming fear of mistakes that translates to life in or out of a sports setting. Reviewer: Renee Farrah
