Bonus Review: Hockey Agony by Donna McDine

Last month I reviewed Donna McDine as September's Author. This month I have the second book in her Middle Grade series. The premise of this series is
based on action in each escapade transporting  the reader into a specific time period. One never knows where they will end up, past or present. 
In "Hockey Agony" a modern young boy must learn to fight against not only peer pressure, but dishonesty, injury, and a struggle with his own attitude problems.
I have both thirteen and fourteen year old sons, so I very much enjoyed McDine's portrayal of the hockey players. teenage boys are a challenge to understand, parent, and love, but McDine developed her characters  as if they were telling her the story themselves.
Hockey Agony is available on line and through the following:
