In fact, he is the first Sikh in Dinway to try out for the hockey team. But Rana persists, making the team and meeting Les, who becomes fast friends with him.<br/><br/>Still, the bullying from his teammates and community members continues. Then, just before the most important game of the season, an extraordinary event interrupts the lives of everyone in Dinway, and Rana risks everything.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Many boys Rana's age would have shared the same feelings dealing with discrimination and could easily relate to Rana. <i>Shabash!</i> would make a great addition to a classroom, sparking many interesting discussions. The story not only deals with prejudice but also with how feelings and actions can cause reactions and how we can make a difference just by accepting others as they are.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ann Walsh is the author of thirteen books for young people.
