compulsory sport. After the annual derby against Voortrekker in
which a St David's player is severely injured and rushed to
hospital, Ben inadvertently catches a glimpse of a bottle labelled
Methyltestosterone in the player's tog bag. But when he is told
"It's just vitamins, OK?" by another team member, he remembers some
references from the team's facebook pages and realises that it is
steroids. What follows turns Ben's life upside down.

In the early, hazy month of September 1984, Grice Grafton will
begin a brand new odyssey at Northside High School. After learning
to play pool as a youngster from his mentor Mr. Evans, Grice
thought he knew everything he needed to know to survive in the
world. 'Life is pool' according to his mentor and Grice believed
him. At Northside, Grice would learn much more than he could ever
imagine when he allows his loyalty to his one true childhood friend
pull the mild mannered Grice into a pool match with a ruthless thug
named Dragon, who will stop at nothing to win. The days leading up
to the match will test Grice's views on race relations; his
perception of his longtime friend, Brenda; his relationship with
his father; his faith; and even his dreams. Grice's first few days
of high school will shatter his world...forever.
The game, the goal and the ghost combine to make for an action
packed adventure for the puck hog and his teammates in the land
where miracles are made. Just when it looks like victory is in
reach, it all falls apart for the team right before the big matchup
with a mighty Canadian youth hockey team. Now they need a miracle!
It's up to Sophia to unlock the mystery and discover the key to
victory. Can she discover the secret in time? Can the keeper of
dreams keep the legacy alive? Lace up and get ready to hit the ice
for chills, spills and experience the thrills of the legendary Lake
Placid.
In over their heads?
THE YEAR IS 1899, and the Travelin' Nine are barnstorming their
way across the good ol' U.S. of A., trying to raise money to pay
off the Payne family's big-league debt.
Griffith has a run-in with the Chancellor and learns that the
baseball isn't the only item the infamous industrialist is after.
Even more mysteriously, the Chancellor claims to have something
that the Paynes want.
And Ruby. Where in the world has she vanished to? Does her
disappearance have anything to do with the Chancellor's threats? Or
is there some other plan in play?
And finally, Graham makes a heartfelt birthday wish and somehow
gets exactly what he asks for. But questions still remain: Was it
real? Can it possibly be true? Or is it all just a dream?
If they don't watch out, Griffith, Ruby, Graham, and the
Travelin' Nine may find themselves in deep water in the Land of
10,000 Lakes!
