Part of the Patty and the Shadows series
Facing prejudice, a young athlete fights to prove his team's worth.
Patty faces taunts about his heritage from a schoolmate, but instead of backing down, he channels his determination into the game. As he and his friends play for the Shadows, they aim to defy stereotypes and prove that Indigenous kids can excel. Will they rise above the challenges and shine on the field?
When school friend Tyson gives Patty a hard time about his people, it really hurts, but it also makes him more determined than ever. Playing for the Shadows, Patty and his friends have a chance to shine - and show that Indigenous kids can do anything.
