A boy describes his first day on a new hockey team. Anxious what-if questions flood his thoughts: "What if no one talks to me?" Worries are assuaged by the friendly coach and teammates. Though the text is stilted, the familiar routine ("waking up really, really early," suiting up, breakfast after the game) will ring true to hockey families. Amiable illustrations temper the anxiety.
