About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-6-Skye Beryl O'Shea, a hockey-playing sixth grader, is the first 11-year-old to make the Ithaca Comets' 15-and-under traveling team. In addition, Haley Bryce, a member of the U.S. Women's Olympic Hockey Team, is Skye's new pen pal, giving advice and encouragement to her biggest fan. School is not going as well for Skye, however. Her secret crush is seen kissing someone else and her math grades keep sinking. Life at home hasn't been great, either. She and her older twin sisters don't get along and her parents have laid down the law. She has to learn to live with them and pull up her math grades or she may have to give up hockey. Skye is a likable protagonist with typical teen issues and, by the end of the book, readers know her fairly well. Though the development of her family and friends is not as thorough, enough information is provided to give readers a sense of their personalities. The plot develops quickly and moves at a rapid pace, integrating lots of information about hockey. E-mail screens, crumpled and folded notes, newspaper clippings, and other bits are scattered throughout. Skye's voice is strong, humorous, and full of promise.
