A note for parents
This is a thoughtful YA graphic novel romance centered on emotional growth and self-regulation, with LGBTQ+ representation woven naturally into the story. The conflict stems from Alix's anger management struggles rather than external threats, and the narrative rewards her learning to understand and communicate her feelings. The book contains very mild language and a few minor physical altercations typical of sports settings, making it appropriate for mature middle-grade readers and up.

New York Times bestseller Faith Erin Hicks is back with Hockey Girl Loves Drama Boy, a young adult graphic novel romance about a hotheaded hockey player who asks for temper management lessons from the cool, calm boy in drama club. It should have been a night of triumph for Alix’s hockey team. But her mean teammate Lindsay decided to start up with her usual rude comments and today Alix, who usually tries to control her anger, let it finally run free. Alix lashes out and before she knows it, her coach is dragging her off Lindsay, and the invitation to the Canada National Women’s U18 Team’s summer camp is on the line. She needs to learn how to control this anger, and she is sure Ezra, the popular and poised theater kid from her grade is the answer. So she asks for his help. But as they hang out and start get closer, Alix learns that there is more to Ezra than the cool front he puts on. And that maybe this friendship could become something more....
