Hockey Girl Loves Drama Boy
by Faith Erin Hicks
Alix loves hockey, but she doesn't love her teammate Lindsay's constant negative comments and bullying. One day, her temper gets the better of her and threatens her status on the team and her future in hockey. Meanwhile, she overhears a classmate, Ezra, endure similar abuse from a classmate with a calmness and confidence she aspires to, so she asks him for lessons on how to keep her cool. As the two get closer, we also get some other interesting secondary plots, from Alix's relationship to her mother to Ezra's obliviousness to a misstep in one of his closest friendships. The real marvel here is Hick's artwork, particularly her mastery of body language and facial expressions, that reveal so much about each of these characters and their relationship with each other.
