Kirk Van Brunt
It's not easy to miss Nokes Lasley, especially when she's on the ice. Towering over the competition at over six feet tall, she routinely dominates on the right wing—and her no-nonsense approach and fiery temper have helped to solidify her reputation as a hockey superstar. Despite her tenuous situation at home, she dreams of hitting the Olympics one day and proving that she can compete in the big leagues.
But suddenly, Nokes's life is turned upside-down when her father is arrested for murder and she's forced to enter the foster care system. Nokes bounces from home to home, from one dangerous setting to the next . . . until she decides to escape across the border to Minnesota, where the promise of a family friend with professional hockey connections far outweighs the abuse she's experiencing in her home province of Ontario.
Through careful lies, and with the help of Aiden, an attractive new friend, Nokes is able to start a new life in a new country—and, most importantly, keep playing hockey. But the past has a nasty way of catching up to her, and soon Nokes has to make a terrible choice: keep running or face her past head-on . . . and maybe even come to terms with her Indigenous heritage.

PRAISE FOR Fight Song
"Excellently paced with a compelling narrator, this fiery book is both a stellar story about sports and coming-of-age." —STARRED REVIEW, Booklist
"Van Brunt. . . has written a fast-paced novel that moves back and forth in time. . . . the technical hockey writing is strong, and the story excels in character development. An appealing blend of sports action and timely social themes." —Kirkus Reviews
"The combination of an authentic First Nations voice (Van Brunt identifies as indigenous) with a strong sports fiction story make this book a rare bird. With its melodramatic true crime elements, propulsive plot, unique main character and athletic highlights, it will appeal to high school readers who like gritty, realistic stories." —Youth Services Book Review
