Gretzky's Game (Hockey Heroes Series)

By Mike Leonetti

Book Overview

Gretzkys Game is the story of Ryan, a young boy who loves to play hockey but whose small stature makes him a target for the bigger boys. He's determined to make the team, even if it means a huge amount of extra practice before the tryout. His dad encourages him to use his speed and intelligence, reminding him that Edmonton Oilers superstar Wayne Gretzky makes up for his lack of size with swiftness and hockey savvy. Can Ryan's hero inspire him to succeed? Hockey's golden age is vividly recalled in this exciting tale of hard work, determination, and holding onto one's dreams.

Customer Reviews

TERRIFIC book for children who are hockey fans!

This is a wonderful book which I purchased for my 9-year old son. I think he has read it 3 or 4 times already. He loves it! I would highly recommend this for any child who is a hockey fan.
