Mystery at Lake Placid - a 32 year old reader

I enjoyed this book alot. Although I am 32 years old, I still enjoy reading the stuff that kids today read. I think it was definitely worth the read.

Thank you Mr MacGregor

My older boys love this series! My oldest has been playing travel hockey for 10 years (he's 17). He started reading the Screech Owls when he was 10 years old, but when our 2nd son started reading them several years ago, and newer stories were written, I'd catch Nicholas reading them, too (literally only taking minutes to polish it off!). Our 2nd boy doesn't play hockey (golf and tennis), but he truly enjoys the series. He already put all the news Screech Owl books on his Christmas list for this year.The funny thing is I found this series in LAKE PLACID, NY (our favorite vacation spot) in my favorite book store. How excited was I that I found a book that would keep my son's attention because of hockey, in Lake Placid, about Lake Placid?! It was a win win. Reading is so important, and it's hard sometimes to find interesting book series, especially for boys. So I thank Roy MacGregor, and hope he keeps writing. I only wish to find more authors who would touch on other sports subjects (besides baseball) like Mr MacGregor does. Also, I would love if Mr MacGregor would write books that my 7 year old would enjoy.

Good young book

This book is great for children playing hockey and want to hear what the Screech Owls are doing. There is also a show of The Screech Owls.

GOOD BOOK!

A very good book for kids who love hockey

This one will score big with young hockey fans!

Finally, a young adult series about hockey! For young fans of the game, the Screech Owls series is right on target. If you are interested in hockey action, mystery, and teamwork, this is the series for you.A team of Canadian hockey players travels to Lake Placid for an international tournament, and soon discovers that they have more to deal with than playing hockey. Sarah Cuthberson, the team captain becomes the target of sabatoge, and it's up to Travis Lindsay and his teammates to save the day (or night, even though Travis is afraid of the dark).Hockey players will appreciate Travis' play-by-play account of the games, and everyone will enjoy the humorous dialogue among teammates.Some language may offend the very young (or at least their parents). Overall, a must read for those interested in hockey
