Nathan Bates Hates His Skates
by Brandy Brave


Nathan does not find anything about hockey exciting. But, there is one thing that captures his attention - the ice at the arena. Join Nate, as he follows his curiosity, instead of his coach's directions. Will his ice experiments help him chase his own dream? Told in rhyming verse, Nathan Bates Hates His Skates is a story for hockey players, fans and those more interested in ice resurfacing!


Brandy lives and writes in small town Canada. With her son, they endeavor to be a family that bravely tries things. Originally designed to encourage the eating of broccoli, it has expanded to include a surfing adventure, a graffiti wall in the garage and a desire to make amazing tacos. The retired greyhound happily takes care of the failed attempts.
