출판사 설명
Fifteen-year-old Nick Carver is tired of living in his older brother's shadow.
Markus is the lacrosse team hero, love interest of Nick's longtime crush and now the recipient of a prestigious scholarship from the Philston Weiks Academy. When a mistake at provincials results in Markus's goal being discounted, rumors start going around school that he cheated. Suddenly, Philston Weiks is "rethinking" Markus's scholarship offer. They've also invited other players, including Nick, to try out for Markus's spot. Nick is flattered but conflicted. He's pretty sure his brother didn't cheat. But can he prove it? And if he does, will he ruin his one chance to finally be in the spotlight?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this entry in the Orca Sports series, written at a fourth-grade level, a rumor about cheating in high school lacrosse riles up local players. Markus is a star for the Maplehurst Vikings, earning him kudos from coaches and other players even his teammate and younger brother, Nick, who plays in his shadow. When gossip about a key play in a Vikings game threatens Markus's scholarship to a prestigious prep school, Nick puts his jealousy aside and unravels a mystery to get at the truth. McIsaac's blend of suspense, sports action, and realistic drama keeps the story moving in the hallways, in the locker room, and during game play. Simultaneously available: Above All Else by Jeff Ross. Ages 10 up.
