He also mentions staying with their family for a little while, which he gladly accepts. At the end, Rick talks to Jonathon about foster homes. Jonathon starts to pass to his other team mates, but doesn't win the game. Jonathon rejoins the hockey team, after they lost their past two games. Rasheed's family decide to take him in for a little while. After Rasheed's family takes Jonathon in their house, Jonathon explains the whole story. In the morning, Rasheed and her sister, Alisha find him in it. He then finds Rasheed's garage, and decides to camp inside. After he has no sleeping bag to sleep with, he tries to find a garage to sleep in. One of the Undergrounders then visit, and Jonathon punches him, resulting in him getting banned from the store. Soon after, Jonathon visits a Chinese bun store. He is then saved by the caretaker at the hockey rink. Now as a street kid, W5 and his gang chase Jonathon. As a result, he asks Lewis for the money (which he doesn't give) and then is kicked out of the Underground. After, when he pays his 50 cent admission to the Underground, Rigger, the collector, states that he has to pay more, as he stored his hockey equipment there. After Jonathan steals from an electronics store, he gets mad at Lewis, which results in a broken friendship. Soon after, Lewis finds something for Jonathan, which is theft. This results in Jonathan leaving the hockey team. One day, after a hockey game, he accidentally overhears his teammates gossiping behind his back. While in the hockey team, he scores many of the goals. Meanwhile, Lewis tells Jonathan that he has something planned for him.įor days, Jonathan continued to practise at the hockey rink, until he is invited to join Rasheed's hockey team.

There, he met Rasheed, Collin and Derrick.

After that, Jonathan went back to the rink, to practise his skills. From there, he stole a pair of Grafs, a Maple Leafs jersey, a puck, an Easton hockey stick, two pairs of gloves, one pair of winter mittens and a roll of stick tape, as well as five dollars, a sandwich and a coke. One day, while Jonathan was begging for money, he went into a hockey store. He survived in the forest on berries, but soon, it became cold, and another homeless boy named Lewis took him to the 'Underground', a basement of an abandoned shopping mall. After his mom died from cancer, her mom's boyfriend, Ron, left Johnathon and the landlord kicked him out. The story is narrated by Jonathan, a 12-year-old boy.
