The year has barely begun when Charlie finds out his school is in jeopardy because of some damage to the building. Under threat of being separated and bussed to different high schools, Charlie and friends leap into action to raise some money and keep their high school (and hockey team!) intact.
Using all of their skills, they cook up as many fundraising events as they can — until one day a gift comes to them in the form of a hockey tournament with a $5000 prize. Charlie is ecstatic to get his team on the ice — until he realizes that their line-up must be co-ed to compete.
It’s a whole new lesson in good sportsmanship at Terrence Falls High School. Can they pull it off and save their school?
Double Shift
E-book ISBN 978-1-4431-1975-7
One night, Charlie’s mom entrusts him with closing up the café while she runs an errand. Distracted by the rivals who come in to taunt him, Charlie completely forgets to turn off the stove when he leaves.
When Charlie and Pudge come back after their hockey game, they’re devastated to find there has been a fire at the café. And the insurance company won’t pay for the damage because Charlie is underage and shouldn’t have been using the stove.
Charlie is overwhelmed by guilt. His hockey game and friendships suffer. And with bank payments looming, his mom decides she must take a job in another city.
When he finally tells his teammates what happened, they all suggest ways to help.
With support from the community, and relying on green principles, like using building materials that have been thrown out or are no longer needed (freecycling!), they pull together and pull it off at the last second!
David Skuy spent most of his childhood playing one sport or another — hockey, soccer, football, rugby. Now he is a writer and lawyer who lives in Toronto, Ontario, with his wife and two kids. He still plays hockey, coaches at minor league level, and remains a die-hard Leafs fan. He began writing the Game Time series to try to capture the competition, the challenges, the friendships and the rivalries that make sports so much fun.
