Cadet Attack

by Sidney Offit, Peter D. Burchard (Illustrator)

To Red Jenks the game of lacrosse was the most important thing in the world. This is the exciting story of Red's effort to forge a winning team at Washington Arms Military Academy--despite the seeming indifference of his idol Doc Chase, a former lacrosse star now on the Academy's coaching staff. It is also the story of a boy's discovery that his first responsibility is to himself, and not to his sport.
