Rhapsody Smith: Ice Angel

By Lorna Schultz Nicholson

"Lorna is making stories that revolve around women's hockey the norm to write, and she captures glimpses of its history with great stories like this mystery. This story featuring Rap also reminds me about my relationship with my Gram as she always supported me playing hockey." -- Cassie Campbell-Pascall, Team Canada hockey captain, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and broadcaster

Rhapsody "Rap" Queen Smith lives with her grandparents and plays for the Ice Angels hockey team, a tight group of girls who spend time together outside of hockey and school.

Her focus is on improving her power plays and crossovers until she meets Marion, an older woman who spends her days sitting on a bench outside the arena. Nobody seems to know who she is, but there are two mysterious things about her: she has an in-depth knowledge of hockey strategy and she wears a 1990 Women's World Cup ring.

When Marion's ring goes missing, Rap and her friends are determined to find it. Who is Marion, and why does she know so much about hockey? The Ice Angels work together to find out.
