Really nice book about 2 friends growing up in an orphanage in Kenya. Kitoo, who loves reading, ends up with a beat up book about sports around the world and story from his librarian about a nearby roller hockey practice. He and his best friend/chosen brother Ngosi volunteer to help with a market trip in order to go find the players. They end up with some beat up equipment, and as Kitoo's interest and self-taught enthusiasm continuities to grow, the adults find am opportunity for them to practice with the Kenya team on ice. Heartwarming, probably aimed at a Canadian audience, but still a solid and generous story with endearing characters. Based on a true story and written by the current director of the orphanage.
