Hockey Night in Kenya (Orca Echoes)

“This simple story of discovery, sport, and friendship is filled with likable characters and innocently joyful moments...Delightful.”―Kirkus Reviews, starred review Kenyan orphans, Kitoo and Nigosi, spend their days studying, playing soccer, helping their elders with chores around the orphanage and reading from the limited selection of books in their library. When the librarian gives Kitoo a copy of Sports Around the World he becomes fascinated by an image of the Canadian national men's ice hockey team. Then one day the fates align and Kitoo finds a pair of beat-up old roller blades. He teaches himself to skate and dreams of one day playing hockey like the men in his book. But you can’t play ice hockey in Kenya, can you? The epub edition of this title is fully accessible. Available in French as La soirée du hockey au Kenya.
