Power Plays

Fourteen-year-old Jessie moves from Saskatoon--and the close friendships she's had since her childhood--to Estevan, and Grade Nine in a high school where she doesn't fit in. Kim, a hockey whiz who plays for a boys' team, thinks Jessie's showing off about her life in Saskatoon, bullies her and sets her up to be attacked by a group of really rough kids who land her in jail on Halloween. It looks life is going to be downhill from now on. Then, because she played ringette in Saskatoon, Jessie is invited to try out for the girls hockey team. She doesn't expect to like it, but as her skills grow, she makes new friends--girls who respect each other and rely on each other's strength and hard work.
