Review
"An excellent combination of the sports-themed genre with mystery and teen novel elements. Highly Recommended." (
CM Magazine 20090901)
"Brouwer's characters are believable, as is his plot, and readers will likely seek out further titles in this series." (
Resource Links )
"The reader becomes involved in the excitement of playing hockey, making new friends, and ultimately confronting those who are revealed to be responsible for harming the animals." (
Canadian Toy Testing Council )
"More than just a sports story, Brouwer manages the weave of plots, creating a worthwhile book that will appeal to hockey loving readers as well as adventure and mystery readers. Written at a 3.8 RL, older reluctant readers will also find this a good match." (
Puget Sound Council )
