In 1963 Czechoslavakia, 10yo Lukas and 12yo Denys are hockey mad. Though they don’t have the best equipment, their talent shines through. They are offered places on a prestigious team – but in their Communist-controlled country, everything comes with a price. Then their father is arrested and they know that somehow, if their father returns to them they must escape.
Rosner takes some known historical facts of actual escapes to weave together her story. If you have a student who loves hockey and is also willing to read historical fiction, add this to your library.
