Check, Please! Book 1: #Hockey introduces Eric Bittle, a charming and talented former junior figure skating champion who is also a popular vlogger and amateur baker. As a freshman at Samwell University, Bitty must adapt to the intense world of collegiate hockey, which includes physical 'checking' and navigating team dynamics. The story also explores his burgeoning feelings for his attractive but reserved team captain, Jack. Originating as a megapopular webcomic, this graphic novel covers Bitty's freshman and sophomore years, offering a humorous and poignant coming-of-age narrative about friendship, identity, and first love. It's an excellent choice for readers aged 12-18, especially those who enjoy contemporary realistic fiction, sports stories, and LGBTQIA+ romance akin to 'Heartstopper'.
