About the book: 2019 / Provincial Bjornstad - Bear Town - lost in the northern Swedish wilderness: beyond there are only impenetrable forests. Once upon a time life was in full swing here, but now unemployment and hopelessness reign. The residents' last hope is the local junior hockey club, which once took second place in the national championship. Hockey in Bjornstad is not just a sport: serious passions boil around it, all interests are tied to it, and how destinies will turn out depends on it. The day of victory in the quarterfinal match was the happiest for the city, and for the club’s management, and for the team, and for its seventeen-year-old captain Kevin Erdahl. But for fifteen-year-old Maya Erickson and her parents it was a terrible day that turned their whole lives upside down... Every resident of the city faced the need to make a moral choice, to answer the question: what price are you willing to pay for victory??
