The characters were well developed, along with an engaging plot, especially for hockey fans. I expect this one will be a hit with our YA readers. ( ) This first-person narrative, from the point of view of a 12-year-old homeless kid (Jonathon a.k.a "Mouse")has its flaws, sure--a fairytale ending for one. That said, the experiences Jonathon relates about life on the street and an invitation to play AA hockey are well told for the 9-12 year-old-boy crowd. Many young boys I know love and devour this book. It's the story of an underdog with talent who finds the love of a good family and learns something about being a member of a team--lessons kids can genuinely relate to. The author manages to address some of the grittiness and danger of the streets without lapsing into the profanity which would deny the book a place in many school libraries. The writing is not extraordinary but the topic appeals. Recommended. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Can playing hockey help a street kid get his life back? After his mom dies, and the landlord kicks him out, 12-year-old Jonathan faces the loneliness and danger of life on the streets - until he meets Lewis. Lewis takes him under his wing and leads him to his new home among a group of kids living in an abandoned underground shopping mall who call themselves the "Undergrounders." Now renamed "Mouse," Jonathan runs errands, delivers packages and panhandles for food money. An escape from this life underground comes to him in the form of hockey gear. Stolen hockey gear, but hockey gear nonetheless. He suits up and heads to the community rink, where he befriends regular kids who welcome him into their game and onto their team. He agrees, knowing he can never tell them about being homeless. Playing hockey makes him feel like a kid again, but keeping his double life a secret proves to be more difficult and dangerous than he ever could have imagined.
