A Book About Hockey -- Finally!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Offside (Mass Market Paperback)
I liked this book because I like watching hockey. The book kept me interested because it had many funny parts. The funniest part was when the girls were playing hockey and the boys were syncronized skating. My teacher laughed really hard during those parts. I would read another book by Cathy Beveridge if it was about soccer.
