 Description:

When hockey and friendship collide!

An old friendship is pushed to its limits as Millie and Cameron face off against each other in a grudge match to finally see who’s got the best hockey team in Dakota.

Millie and Cameron grew up as close as any two friends could be, playing together on the same hockey team and hanging out together after school. However, when the hockey team was split between boys and girls, their friendship began to change, and not for the better.

Now, Millie and Cameron are rivals, playing against each other to finally settle who has the best hockey team, boys or girls?

Editorial Reviews

As an adult (and a grandma), I didn't expect to be able to relate to a middle school story about kids and hockey. But, I got hooked! In my younger days, hockey was "the" sport in my home town (just ahead of football). I remember my Grade 6 teacher Mr. Thomas explaining the finer points of the game while cheering on his favorite team -- the Boston Bruins. They were on a losing streak in those days, and I became the cheerleader for the underdogs... to this day! Those early lessons stood me well when I started going out with a hockey mad boyfriend around 1972. He was impressed. Fast forward many, many years and I still love hockey and thoroughly enjoyed reading about how young players start out and the many personal challenges they face, including whether the girls are as good or even better than the boys. This is a level of competition I can relate to and I'm already looking forward to the next book in this fine little series.
