Penelope Spaulding justcan't catch a break. Between long hours at the family pizza shop, pilesof homework, and her dad's new obsession--getting the restaurant on a new foodie reality show--it's hard to find a spare moment to breathe. Butwhen she laces up her skates and steps on the ice, the world is hers tocontrol and everything else slips away. When the bad boy wholives down the street dares her to join the Rink Rats, the local misfithockey team, she surprises herself and joins in silent defiance of hercontrolling parents. The more she plays, the easier it is to keep lying, and soon Pen finds it impossible to come clean. She's sneakingout to practice--and loving every minute of it. It doesn't take long forher to fall in love with hockey...but she's not entirely sure if it's thegame she's falling for or the boy. Because it can't last. As soon as her dad finds out, she'll be benched. For good. And the one thing she IS sure of...she can't stop playing
