Dylan has been looking forward to the Midwinter Meltdown Tournament for months. He knows this will be the year his hockey team wins. Then a pre-season injury takes him out of the game.

A good sports story for young readers

Dylan loves playing hockey, and he has been looking forward to the Midwinter Meltdown Tournament for months. So when an injury takes him out of the game before the season even starts, Dylan is understandably upset. He keeps trying to find ways to get back on the ice and help his team, convinced that him playing was the only way he could. With the help of his coach and friends, though, Dylan is able to learn that there's more than one way to help his team win the hockey tournament.

I enjoy seeing stories like these for younger readers, because the lesson Dylan learns is one that everyone who plays sports should learn - though not everyone does. The story is also compelling enough that it will keep a young reader entertained, though an older reader or adult reader might find themselves rolling their eyes at some of the dialogue.

The audiobook was narrated by an anonymous narrator, so I cannot give specific credit for the performance. Still, the performance was good to listen to. If you have read and/or listened to other sports-themed books by Jake Maddox, then I suspect you will also enjoy this one.
