No Contact — Sandra Diersch

If only Debbie's adoptive mother, Angie, could be more like Debbie's hockey coach. Coach Steph loves hockey, while Debbie's mother plays the piano and does yoga, two things that Debbie definitely doesn't understand. In trying to fit into her new life, Debbie learns the importance of accepting people for who they are and what it means to be part of a family.

Sandra Diersch has taught special education to British Columbia students and has written several books, including Offside! and Home Court Advantage, both Canadian Children's Book Centre Our Choice selections. She lives in Maple Ridge, British Columbia.
