Description

Offside is a novel for young adults that deftly blends Canada’s love affair with hockey and the gritty realities of teen addiction. Based on real events that took place in Calgary, Offside is the fictional story of a fifteen-year-old boy who inadvertently creates a dependency amongst his teammates on a cold remedy which they think is a performance enhancer.
