Product Description
Book Description
Offside is a novel for young adults that deftly blends Canada’s love affair with hockey and the gritty realities of teen addiction. Based on real events that took place in Calgary, Offside is the fictional story of a fifteen-year-old boy who inadvertently creates a dependency amongst his teammates on a cold remedy which they think is a performance enhancer.
About the Author
Offside is Cathy Beveridge's first fiction-book publication, although she has had articles published in several anthologies, including Up All Night (Thistledown 2001). She has worked as a teacher, editor and author for a number of years, and lives in Calgary, Alberta, where she was born.

A Book About Hockey -- Finally!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Offside (Mass Market Paperback)
I liked this book because I like watching hockey. The book kept me interested because it had many funny parts. The funniest part was when the girls were playing hockey and the boys were syncronized skating. My teacher laughed really hard during those parts. I would read another book by Cathy Beveridge if it was about soccer.
