Description

Inspired by a real event, this is the fictional tale of a little girlwhose parents win Wayne Gretzky's hockey stick at an auction. When thechild begins to play with it, she becomes her team's star. Meanwhile,"The Great One" goes into the greatest slump of his career. Realizing he needs the stick more than she does, the girl returns it to him, andGretzky gets over his thousand-goal hump. Peter Maloney andFelicia Zekauskas really did win a Gretzky hockey stick at an auction,and The Great One subsequently did go into a slump. The authors haveturned their adventure into THE book for young sports fans, with cleverrhyming verse, witty pictures, and a heartfelt theme about what it means to give. They will donate a percentage of proceeds from this book tothe New York Presbyterian Hearst Burn Center for Pediatric Burn Care,which held the original auction. American Bookseller made the duo's first book, Redbird at Rockefeller Center, a fall 1997 Pick of the Lists, and called it "reminiscent of Dr. Seuss classics." With The Magic Hockey Stick, they've done it again! Read more

  • Multi Generational Fun!
Format: Paperback
This was my son’s favorite book growing up. We read it almost every night and my husband would read the line “Return the man’s lumber” in a deep loud voice every time. My son now reads this book to his sons and does the same deep voice. My grandsons love it just as much! Such a great book! ♥️

  • A Favorite for my 2.5 year old
Format: Paperback
My 2.5 year old insists I read this to him every night. He's quite obsessed with hockey. Even though the book might be a good book for an older age group as well, it is still perfect for the younger crowd too.

  • It has a nice flow, with rhyming sentences
Format: Paperback
This is a cute story. I bought it because the primary character is a girl and I think more sports books should include female roles. It has a nice flow, with rhyming sentences. But the plot is a lacking a bit. Overall a great bedtime story for the young hockey enthusiast- boy or girl!

  • Sweet Story
Format: Paperback
