The Magic Hockey Stick

40 pp. | Dial | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2476-4 $$12.99
(4) K-3 Through her mother's accidental bid at a charity auction, a young girl wins an autographed Wayne Gretzky hockey stick. A consistent, although sometimes stiff rhyme tells how the new stick helps the girl in her hockey game while Gretzky's scoring falters. Sacrificing her prized possession, the girl returns the stick to her hero, who thankfully, gets his game back. Cartoonlike illustrations accompany the slight tale.
