When a phone call from Nish gets Travis out of bed one bright winter’s morning, it looks as if it’s going to be the best weekend ever.

The Screech Owls’ home town lies beneath a thick fall of snow, topped with a layer of hard, smooth, beautiful ice. The whole world has become one gigantic skating rink. If only there were a way, thinks Travis, for these two wonderful days to last forever.

But before the weekend is over, Travis wishes it had never begun. One of the Screech Owls lies in a hospital bed, unable to move – the victim of a cowardly drunk driver who has fled the scene of the crime.

Now the Screech Owls must face a challenge that would make the toughest hockey game seem easy. Somewhere in the town of Tamarack a criminal is in hiding, and somehow – for the sake of their teammate – Travis and the Screech Owls must find a way to pull together and bring the culprit to justice.

The Screech Owls ’ Home Loss is the eigth book in the Screech Owls Series.
