| Publisher Description: A Talented Young Hockey Player and a Dangerous Injury... Ten-year-old Timothy Trainor is a typical happy kid who loves his family and friends. He's lucky enough to have a special talent: he's a great hockey player, and he is close with his teammates on the Chelsea ThunderCats. But things change unexpectedly when a dirty hit to the head during a game gives him a concussion. All of a sudden, Timothy's future as a player is at stake as Timothy, his friends, and his family work through his recovery from an injury that happens all too often in youth sports, and which must be taken seriously. Timothy Trainor draws you into the vivid world of hockey, sending a strong message about how to play the game right, and giving realistic information about the increasingly serious issue of concussions. Full of fast-paced hockey action, warm moments with friends, love and good advice from family, and expertise from an ex-pro hockey playing grandfather, Timothy Trainor is an engaging and educational read for the whole family. Will Timothy recover from his injury? Will he be able to play again...and will he be able to meet or exceed his past performance? Find out, and experience the thrill and challenges of youth hockey along with Timothy. |
