★“A story of grief, forgiveness, healing, and friendship, this book will skate into readers’ hearts. Would make a fantastic read-aloud for classrooms and a great pick for book club discussions.” — School Library Journal (SLJ), starred review

When Wolfgang’s father dies, everything changes.

Wolfie and his mother move to Calgaryto stay with his grandfather, and Wolfie starts at a new school. Consumed by sadness, his mother stops speaking and rarely comes out of her bedroom. While he tries to adjust to his new life, Wolfie gets to know his grandpa and makes a friend, Jimmy, who introduces him to hockey. Though he misses his father terribly, Wolfgang finds moments of happiness, like when his mom finally emerges from her grief to rejoin the world, and when his grandpa teaches him how to skate. He even gets good enough tojoin Jimmy's hockey team!

What haunts Wolfgang, though, is that no one will tell him how his father died...until one day he overhears his mom and grandpa say that his father took his own life. Now Wolfie has even more weight to bear—and so many questions. But even in the most difficult times, friendship, hope and hockey keep Wolfie going.
