Synopsis

Information

Hollis Tsang is an outstanding gymnast and also a terrific rugby player. A bustling and lightning-fast scrumhalf, he's the hub around which his successful school team revolves. But Hollis must choose which of his two sporting passions to pursue. The two disciplines are incompatible, and any injury picked up playing rugby could potentially end Hollis' gymnastics future. He chooses to follow his Olympian dream to be a top gymnast - but not all of his peers and teachers are thrilled by this decision. When the school rugby team loses an important fixture, some pupils lay the blame on Hollis. Despite his amazing progress in gymnastics, it is hard for Hollis to ignore the taunts and comments that have begun to appear on Facebook and the unidentified threatening texts on his phone. Will Hollis hold fast to his Olympic dream, or will the gathering peer pressure and cyber-bullying draw him back into the danger of the school rugby scrum? Ages 7+.
