The Ice Chips is a co-ed hockey team that is loosing their home rink. Though they will be moving to a fancy new rink, they want one last skate on their home ice. Once they arrive at the rink, they see that the ice is in bad shape, it needs re-surfacing. This is when the trouble/challenges/magic starts.
Wait, did I say magic. Oh yes, that's what makes this book so special. I love where this magic takes them and what they experience and learn along the way. Not going to tell you a word more since I don't want to spoil any secrets.
It's great the way the team members support each other both on and off the ice. They aren't just thinking about their next goal, but of their friends both old and new.
Young readers will be able to relate to the members of the team even if they don't play hockey. The story is more about friendship and including new friends.
The authors also wrote the Screech Owl series for 9-12 readers.
The team will return in the Ice Chips and the Haunted Hurricane.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book from Indigo Books & Music Inc., in exchange for an honest review.
