Slap Shot

 

Do you feel prejudice still exists in our world? Do you think it is fair to be made fun of because of a different skin color?  Don’t be surprised because there are many of them all over the world! This is a book about a friendship forming between two hockey players one black and one white both a little bit different from everybody else on the team. In this sports book written by my favorite author Mat Christopher, there is much hockey action including a rematch in the final few games. You may not know who the author is but you better know soon because he is the best sports author to walk this planet we call earth! He wrote all the best- The Kid Who Hit Homers, Wing Man on Ice, and my favorite Slap Shot.

If you are anything like me you hate books that give away the story on the cover. I understand a picture tells a thousand words. But this cover only gives away the main sport. You will never believe the first few chapters. They were the direct opposite I though they would be. So call your mom and run down to the public library and pick it up. It is well worth the time it takes to read this Hockey packed book. Patrick Ray who won best goalie in the NHL  (National Hockey League ) three years running that’s the most in history!  He thought this book was as fun to read as playing hockey!!

Oval Callout: I love the book Slap Shot!
