If you’re looking for a way to get your young sports fan into reading, I invite you to download a PDF of a word search inspired by my hockey children’s book Face-Off. The puzzle features words and themes from the novel such as sportsmanship, rivalry and hat trick.
If you’re not familiar with Face-Off, a book about brothers and sibling rivalry, here is the blurb:
Brad’s twin brother T.J. has gotten himself out of the fancy prep school his father picked for him and into the public high school Brad attends. Now T.J., the bright light in his father’s eyes, is a shining new star on the hockey team where Brad once held the spotlight. And he’s testing his popularity with Brad’s friends, eyeing Brad’s girl, and competing to be captain of the team. The whole school is rooting for a big double-strength win…not knowing that their twin hockey stars are heating up the ice for a winner takes all face-off. This is a re-issue of the book originally written when I was 16 (in high school study halls) and published when I was 18. It is available in print, e-book and audiobook forms – narrator Maxwell Glick really makes the Audible edition come alive! You can find a list of retailers here. Although the book is technically for ages 12 and up, I have received letters from kids as young as 9.
