Offside blends Canda's love affair with hockey and the gritty realities of teen addiction. Based on real events that took place in Calgary, it is the fictional story of a fifteen-year-old-boy who inadvertently creates a dependency amongst his teammates on a cold remedy which they think is a performance enhancer. The novel sets the often difficult realities of family and peer groups against a narrative (at times comic, at others serious) that balances exciting hockey action with the experiences of depression and drug use. Cinematic in scope, Offside is sure to appeal to all teen readers.
