Seabiscuit on skates (Minneapolis) November 24, 2003 - 4.0/5 stars
I realy like this book, I just started reading it and I'm totally hooked.
I'm not a big hockey fan so I think a little bit is lost on me, but this
book really draws you into the characters in the traditions of the best
sports stories.
The whole "parent of student athlete" is
captured well and that's probably something we all need to be talking more
about.
