Did I enjoy this book? I read this book because my son had to do a book report on it for school. I really appreciated the author’s treatment of good sportsmanship and morality. To be honest, this book even taught me some fundamentals of playing hockey! I’m glad my son read this book. It held his interest, and I think it was a good story.

Would I recommend it? This was a great read for my third grader. I would absolutely buy more books by this author. It had sports to grab his interest, and I really liked what he covered for good sportsmanship. Definitely stock up on these books for the young sports fanatic in your life!
