Description

New York Times bestseller Faith Erin Hicks is back with Hockey Girl Loves Drama Boy, a feel-good YA graphic novel romance about a hot-headed hockey player who asks for temper management lessons from the cool, calm boy in drama club - perfect for fans of Heartstopper! It should have been a night of triumph for Alix's hockey team. But her teammate Lindsay decided to start up with her usual rude comments and today Alix, who usually tries to control her anger, finally let it run free. Alix lashes out and before she knows it, her coach is dragging her off Lindsay, and the invitation to the Canada National Women's U18 Team's summer camp is on the line. Alix needs to learn how to control this anger, and she is sure Ezra, the popular and poised theater kid from her grade is the answer. So she asks for his help. But as they hang out and start get closer, Alix learns that there is more to Ezra than the cool front he puts on. And that maybe this friendship could become something more . . . With black and white inside illustrations, this is a feel-good YA graphic novel about friends, relationships and anger management.
