Eleven-year-old Andy learns important lessons about discipline, teamwork, and friendship when he plays for a new hockey team.
The rest of the book is a straightforward account of the Dynamos' successful season, featuring plenty of fast-paced, play-by-play action of their key games. . At first, this is a devastating blow, but Andy's parents convince him to approach the new team with an open mind. Bowman's strength is in showing how the coach manages to forge a team spirit among the players; the author also does a believable job with the first-person narration. From School Library Journal Grade 4-6. The boy soon finds himself playing for a brilliant, but unconventional coach whose first action is to have everyone on the team (called the Dynamos) come up with a Russian name, since Russian players are the best. Narrator Andy Anderson, 11, looks forward to the start of a new hockey season, only to find himself traded to another team. Wit
