The Winners - Paperback

by Fredrik Backman (Author)

Maya Andersson and Benji Ovich can see how much Beartown has changed. Two years have passed since the events no one wants to think about. The destruction caused by a summer storm reignites the old rivalry between Beartown and the neighboring town of Hed, a rivalry which has always been fought through their ice hockey teams. Tensions between the two towns turn into acts of intimidation and then violence. All the while, a fourteen-year-old boy grows increasingly alienated and is determined to take revenge on the people he holds responsible for his sister's death. He has a pistol and a plan that will leave Beartown with a loss that is almost more that it can stand.
