Customer Reviews

A book that makes me look forward to story time.

This is a book that my 5 year old son and I both love and we revisit it over and over again. I usually let him choose the 2 books I'll read before bed and this book is chosen many times. The story is engaging for him and me, the illustrations have a surreal quality that make you feel like you've been there. There is even the lesson about working hard, teamwork, and not underestimating anyone. A great childs book that adults can enjoy also. The illustrations are dreamlike, and the story is one of determination and working to make your dreams come true that is sure to delight any kid (or Dad!).

Great Book!

This was a really good book. I liked the characters. I really wish they lived in my neighbourhood. I would join them at the outdoor rink near my house. I'm not not sure I would be able to keep up with Marcel though, and Danny seems pretty hard to score on, but I would try. The pictures in the book are very nice. They make you imagine what the players were going through. This is an exciting book. I can't wait until The Final Game is published. Paul H. Age 7
