It’s a new season for Nick and Kia and once again they have to prove they’ve got what it takes to make the Mississauga Magic rep team. There is no free ride on coach Barkley’s team.

One new player definitely seems to have the ability to impress the coach. Although Ashton has great skills, he’s not much of a teamplayer. On top of that, he’s not even sure he wants to make the Magic. Turning their new friend into a true team player provides a new challenge for Nick and Kia.

“We have to get out of here. There’s nothing we can do. Besides, there are already people there to help and to call the police. There’s nothing we can do but get in trouble.”

I hesitated.

“Go! Get out of here!”

I got the car moving. I had one eye on the road in front and the other on my rearview mirror, trying to see the accident. I saw flashing red lights behind me in the distance. For a split second I took my foot off the accelerator. Then I pressed down harder, picked up speed and took a quick left turn.
