review 1: I totally missed the hints on the cover as to what the "highest number in the world" would be!New words: shrine, replica. And so many times I see analogies that have nothing to do with the subject matter, but MacGregor writes, "Gabe's heart felt as if a skate had just run across it." A perfect comparison that youngsters will understand.The importance of listening to stories by a grandparent is presented.The gouache illustrations are mostly one page, sometimes several pieces of action on one page, support the text, and have little background, thus focusing on the relevant action.All my girl hockey players will love this.
review 2: I love this book for the reason we need to remember to not forget that kids hold on to things that we may not understand, but we can'... moret ignore them. Gabe is a hockey enthusiast who is not only passionate about her sport, but also about a famous hockey player. Wearing her idol's number is a dream for her. Unfortunately she does not get that number and she is crushed. Lucky for her, she has a grandmother who understands.Love the girl power in this book! less
