ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I got this book for my 10 and 11 year old daughters....they ABSOLUTELY LOVED it ! They kept saying "Dad, you have to read this book". I did and it is a wonderful book. As a former high school hockey player, I loved the hockey action, some of the best hockey action for middle school kids I have ever read. As a father, the family side of the story really touched me as well. If you have daughters, or daughters who love sports like mine, this is the BEST book I have seen for them. The main character is one tough cookie, and her guts, spirit and determination are inspirational to all girls ! Because the hockey action is soooo good, even my 13 year old son wants to read the book now. If you have middle age kids who love books about sports or just books about being a middle school kid ( the conversations these kids have are hilarious ), THIS BOOK IS A MUST HAVE !
