Fredrick Backman, "the Dickens of our time" according to the Green Valley News, returns to the town of Beartown in this exciting, funny and, at times, dramatic story about loyalty and friendship.

Lost deep in the woods, Beartown is a small town of hard-working people who don't expect life to be easy or fair. Their only desire is to maintain the reputation of their ice hockey club. So when an unexpected event brings the club to the brink of demise, everyone is devastated. And if that weren't enough, half the players from Beartown join the team from Hed, the neighboring town, and the animosity between the two long-time rivals intensifies.

Then someone arrives in Beartown to save the team. Soon, the team begins to take shape around Amat, the fastest player ever seen; Benji, the intense lone wolf; always dutiful and eager-to-please Bobo; and Vidar, a born-to-be-bad troublemaker.

However, shortly before the decisive match, a terrible tragedy will shock both towns and force their inhabitants to wonder if, after all, the sport they love so much will ever be as simple and innocent as it used to be--a simple ice rink, two goals and two teams.
