A must have book for all school libraries.
I'm writing this on behalf of my 6 year old son who is a New Jersey Devils fan and admirer of Scott Gomez.The book is informative and well written.We find out how old Scott was when he took up hockey(age 5)and how Scott worked his way up the league and eventually into the NHL.Scott Gomez is a genuine roll model for young people and especially young Hispanics who don't think other Hispanics played hockey(we are stereotypicaly boxers who don't know how to do anything else).I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the sport or is a new fan of hockey.What is really warm about this is how close Scott is to his dad, Carlos, and what a tight knit family they are. ...
