BODY CHECK

Who’s teaching the Badgers dirty tricks?

Twelve-year-old Brent Mullen isn’t sure he’s seeing what he thinks he’s seeing. Did his best friend and teammate just pull
a dirty trick on the ice—all for the sake of winning? And, if so, where did he learn the move? It soon becomes clear to Brent
that some of his teammates are more interested in winning than in playing fair, and that the new assistant coach is more than
willing to teach them illegal moves to help them reach their goal. But just how far will those players go—and will Brent be
able to stop them before someone gets seriously hurt?

Matt Christopher
is the name young readers turn to when they’re looking for fast-paced, action-packed sports stories.
