Zusatztext “A funny! heartwarming story about friendship! hockey! and the magic that can happen when you believe in yourself. You don’t have to be a hockey fan to enjoy this book! but after reading it you just might be!” Informationen zum Autor ROY MACGREGOR, the media inductee into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012, has been described by the Washington Post as “the closest thing there is to a poet laureate of Canadian hockey.” He is the author of the internationally successful Screech Owls hockey mystery series for young readers, which has sold more than two million copies and is published in French, Chinese, Swedish, Finnish, and Czech. The most successful hockey series in history—second only to Anne of Green Gables as a book series for young readers—it was a live-action hit on YTV. MacGregor has twice won the ACTRA Award for best television screenwriting. Klappentext IF YOU COULD TRAVEL THROUGH TIME, WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO MEET? Lucas Finnigan eats, sleeps, and breathes hockey. With his friends Edge, Swift, and Crunch, Lucas plays on his hometown’s rink, dreaming of the day when he’ll make the NHL. But lately, money has been tight at home, and after a major growth spurt, Lucas is forced to wear hand-me-down gear that doesn’t quite fit properly. Now he’s not sure if he’ll ever make it to the Hall of Fame like his hockey heroes. And that’s not the only problem. With the community arena’s chiller on the fritz and replacement parts too tough to come by, it looks like Lucas and his friends may be doomed to a season on a plastic rink—or worse, to no hockey at all! But with a magical discovery, and some help from one of hockey’s greatest players (who was a kid once, too!), their final skate might just turn into their first great adventure.
