Book Description
After a whole season of being put down by everyone in Waterloo, the hockey team from Mars is in the league championship. But they lose their captain, Alexia, because she is a girl. That her replacement is a scrawny kid nicknamed Fragile doesnt bode well for the Stars play-off hopes, and neither does the prediction that no player from Mars will ever touch the championship cup. Chipmunk Adelman, team reporter for the Stars, tries to battle the injustice of the century-old bylaw that keeps Alexia from playing, and gets thrown off the school paper. But SLAPSHOTS fans know that nothing can keep the cup-crazy Stars down not even the opposing forwards Wayne Gretzky wrist shot!
