By Tracy Hawkins (NB the publisher left out the e in my name!) Illustrated by John Yahyeh ISBN 1-74164-033-4 Available from Blake Education and bookstores.
Ben is scared. His hockey team is about to play the toughest, meanest, ugliest hockey team in the competition and Ben... has been selected to his team's goalie. Rats are gnawing at his guts, he thinks he'll pee his pants and knows he's nothing but a yellow-bellied chicken. Will Ben survive? Read a sample page below
Ben saw his mate David waving at him. He raised his hand to wave, as he did his best cowboy walk. "Hey Benny! Why're ya walking like a duck?" yelled David. "Bet he's peed his pants!" cried someone else. The rest of the boys burst into fits of laughter. "Real cool cowboy- NOT," thought Ben. The rats in his stomach started chewing his guts again. It felt like they were eating his muscles bit by bit. Chew, chew, chomp. Chew, chew, chomp. He moved into the goalie position just in front of the goalposts. He hoped the chestplate would stop his guts splattering onto the ground when the rats ate through his skin.
