ReviewsMany boys Rana's age would have shared the same feelings dealing with discrimination and could easily relate to Rana. Shabash! would make a great addition to a classroom, sparking many interesting discussions. The story not only deals with prejudice but also with how feelings and actions can cause reactions and how we can make a difference just by accepting others as they are.

Edition DescriptionNew Edition

SynopsisRana is the first Sikh in Dinway, British Columbia to join the hockey team. But, even with his friend Les by his side, he still feels singled out. And then something happens that nobody in Dinway was ready for, and Rana feels more isolated than ever. With everything on the line and the season's biggest game coming up, what can he do to fix things?, Rana's on the team -- but is he still all alone? Short-listed for the 1996 Silver Birch Award As a Sikh living in small-town British Columbia, Rana knows he is different. In fact, he is the first Sikh in Dinway to try out for the hockey team. But Rana persists, making the team and meeting Les, who becomes fast friends with him. Still, the bullying from his teammates and community members continues. Then, just before the most important game of the season, an extraordinary event interrupts the lives of everyone in Dinway, and Rana risks everything.
