Product Information

This laugh-out-loud middle-grade novel follows thirteen-year-old Will- who hates hockey and loves dancing-as he navigates school, bullies, and his father's expectations. Will is a Canadian eighth grader who hates hockey-and he stinks at it, too. Will is bullied at school, doesn't have any friends, and is generally miserable. When Will's seventeen-year-old hockey-star cousin, Alex, arrives to stay with Will's family, Will and Alex quickly realize they can't stand each other. Then Will stumbles into a local dance school. He fights the urge to cha-cha, but he's good! When Will's dad finds out about the dancing, he basically forbids it. And Alex's dad refuses to listen to what Alex wants to do with his life. Will takes readers on a journey through noogies, awkward conversations, and epic farts. He worries, dances, and makes messes. Filled with humor, nuance, and emotion, this novel asks what makes a family and what makes a man.

Navigating adolescence is hard; family dynamics can make it even harder. Thirteen-year-old Will Stone feels like a loser. He's a skittish new student at Boundary Street Middle School in Evanston, Ontario. His dad, the new principal, has cachet as a former professional hockey player, while Will has earned a special level of disgrace after scoring a goal for the opposing team. Things might be looking up with the news that his cousin Alex, 17, will be coming from cosmopolitan Montreal to live with them. Will sees a potential cool protector. Instead, Alex turns out to be a surly slob. Worse, he becomes the hockey team's new assistant coach. Deliverance comes unexpectedly: Will's kinetic ricocheting as he flees bullies attracts the eye of Jesús Rodriguez, who invites Will into his dance studio. Will is leery, but the flattery of attractive Tessa Harper seals the deal. Will's hockey skills fail to improve, but he doesn't care as he tears it up on the dance floor, and his self-esteem blossoms. Now, how to break this news to his hockey-fanatic family? If the first half of Irwin's bubbly debut is about finding one's bliss, the second half tackles deeper, related questions about identity and masculinity. The first-person narrative sometimes feels too sophisticated for the hyper hero, but there's consistent humor, compassion in abundance, and relatable characters. Will and his family read White; some ethnic diversity is cued in the supporting cast. Adolescent angst and its issues unpacked with a caring, comic eye. -- Kirkus Reviews Will Stone may well be the worst hockey player ever to take the ice, but from the moment he'sroped into taking a ballroom-dancing lesson, he knows he's got a gift. But what will his formerNHL-star dad say when he finds out? Not to mention his caustic, scornful grandpa and thevicious tormentors who have made life at school a living hell? Except for the relentless bullying,Irwin delivers her debut's events in a light tone, endowing her resilient but conflicted 13-year-oldwith comically painful adolescent issues. She also provides unexpected allies in dance partnerTessa ("majestically hot") and a newly arrived live-in cousin with parental issues of his own, bothhigh-schoolers. The author sets up climactic tests of will that will leave readers with two inspiringexamples of sons strong enough to chase their own dreams rather than those of their parents, atleast one dad who is willing to learn from his mistakes, and a protagonist with a new outlook on asport he used to hate. That's some fancy footwork. -- Booklist, Navigating adolescence is hard; family dynamics can make it even harder. Thirteen-year-old Will Stone feels like a loser.
