A Kid's Review

This review is from: All Mars-All Stars (Slapshots) (Paperback)

Like the first book in this series Gordan Korman incorporates a very good sense of humor into this book. This book is about some kids from "Mars" who form a hockey team, so if you like hockey this is a good book to read. I would reccomend this book to kids about Grade 3/4 because it is quite an easy read.
