I'm excited to announce the re-release of my classic young adult hockey novel Face-Off (Book One), written when I was 16 years old and originally published when I was 18. I'm marking the 20th anniversary by bringing the book back for a new generation of readers.

Head-to-Head, Skate-to-Skate, It's Winner Takes All! What might have been a dream come true has turned into a nightmare. Brad’s twin brother T.J. has gotten himself out of the fancy prep school his father picked for him and into the public high school Brad attends. Now T.J., the bright light in his father’s eyes, is a shining new star on the hockey team where Brad once held the spotlight. And he’s testing his popularity with Brad’s friends, eyeing Brad’s girl and competing to be captain of the team. The whole school is rooting for a big double-strength win…not knowing that their twin hockey stars are heating up the ice for a winner takes all face-off.

NEW: This new edition contains a special letter to readers, revisions for the latest generation of readers, as well as bonus excerpts of Offsides (Face-Off Book Two), and the young adult paranormal thriller Dark Before Dawn.

This young adult novel has entertained thousands of young readers and appeared on many reading lists. Among its many honors:

- The Hockey Hall of Fame’s Junior Education Program included Face-Off on its recommended reading list for the junior and intermediate levels.

- Best Books for Young Teen Readers: Grades 7-10 by John T. Gillespie - Recommended in the sports category.

The book is available for Kindle, Nook and Smashwords with more e-book retailers and a paperback version coming this fall. Links and reviews are at: http://stacyjuba.com/blog/face-off/
