About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the pressure of competition or feeling like their success depends on luck rather than effort. It is an ideal choice for the young athlete who loves a touch of mystery or the supernatural alongside their sports action. The story follows twins who discover a toy hockey game that appears to predict, and perhaps control, the outcomes of their real-world games. This discovery forces them to confront questions of fairness, responsibility, and what it truly means to earn a victory. It offers a gentle but engaging way to discuss the ethics of winning and the importance of personal agency. The twins' relationship provides a relatable look at sibling dynamics, while the fast-paced hockey sequences keep reluctant readers engaged. Ultimately, it is a story about the magic of believing in oneself and the value of hard work over shortcuts.
