The primary series

Beyond the Crease

An inclusive middle-grade series about courage, belonging, family and finding strength in the different ways people experience the world.

Some saves never appear on the scoreboard.

Charlie experiences the world in her own way. She notices details others miss, feels things deeply and understands that what some people see only as a disability can also be a source of strength.

Through hockey, mysterious blue messages, forgotten stories and the people around her, Charlie learns that a save can mean including someone, listening differently, helping quietly or having the courage to be exactly who you are.
