ALL-STAR PRIDE is about a guy named Hog Burnell. He is a part of the WHL (Western Hockey League), which is a step below the NHL (National Hockey League). He is going to play on the all-star team against Russia. They even get to travel to Russia for the games! They are going to have a seven-game series, and the first team who wins four games wins the series. Hog does not realize, though, that hockey isn't the only thing they'll be doing. There is plenty of more money to be made in Russia. Soon Hog finds himself on the borderline of what is right and wrong: do I join in the schemes to make more money while in Russia? ALL-STAR PRIDE is a thrilling story that will pull you in and not let you out until the book is over. I hope you consider this book for reading because I really liked it. Reviewed by: Mike

This is what Ron MacLean said.

"I was unable to put it down... if you like hockey, you'll love this series!" (Andy, 11 years old, telling you what Ron MacLean, host of Hockey Night in Canada, said about this book.)
