"Will Katie make the boys' ice hockey team?"

After 13-year-old Katie Campbell quits the flag squad, one of her friends volunteers her to try out for the boys' ice hockey team. She's apprehensive at first, but decides to have a go at it, despite the discouragement from her mother and sister (it's not "ladylike"), as well as from her classmates and coach, who think girls shouldn't be allowed to play boys' sports. This second book in the Girl Talk series is ideal for preteen girls who can relate to Katie's situation, since it encourages them to go for what they want in spite of opposition.

Lets Play Hockey!

Face-Off is a super good book ALL kids should read about. Face-Off is about four friends, one crush, and one perfectly bratty older sister. This story is about a 13-year old named Katie Campbell and her friends: Randy Zac, Allison Cloud, and Sabrina Wells. Katie likes a guy named Scottie Silver, but you'll have to read this book to find out how Scottie feels about Katie. To see what other suprises happen you'll have to read Face-Off.

Skating Queen meets hockey monster

the typical figure skater/ hockey player story - but one that gets you involved. Having been an iceskater myself, I found the story very good and pretty true to subject. I find it hard to find books on ice-skating living in Australia so when I do I'm alwys hopeing for the best story, and I found one in this book. It is easy to read - I first read it as a 13 year old - and what I feel to be well written keeping on edge to the very end.

Worth ordering!!!

I loved this book!!I rated this a ten because I liked how Katie over came the fact that she was a girl trying out for the boy's hockey team.I was also a little mad when Randy just said Katie was trying out although she had no intention to.Read this book to find out what Katie has gotten her self into and the friction going on between her and Scottie Silver
