Screech Owls #16
Power Play In Washington
The Screech Owls are in Washington, D.C., for the International Goodwill Peewee Championship – and Nish is about to become a “news flash” seen round the world! Literally. Because the craziest Owl ever has a brand-new plan: to streak the White House.
His way into the White House, he believes, is through the Screech Owls’ new friend, who not only plays centre for the Washington Wall, but just happens to be the son of the U.S. president!
It is a hockey tournament with a difference: secret-service agents, sniffer dogs, metal detectors, worldwide media attention – and the most cunning political assassination plan in modern history.
When the Owls head for a “normal” kids’ day out with their new friend, the president’s son, they have no idea they are about to get involved in a dangerous international power play, with murder the real game plan of their opponents.

Best of the Screech Owls in a long time. Reading them one after another makes them get a little repetitive, but this one was great.

These are great chapter books for kids who like Hockey!! What fun books with mysteries that are appropriate for kids 9 and up!
Each book has a an exciting hockey game and a mystery to solve. The characters in the books are very relateable for kids of this age and engaging. I love that their are both boys and girls on the team and they all contribute!
The stories also contain lessons on teamwork, sportsmanship and friendship! Terrific lessons for all kids!
There are a few times when I thought the content was a bit off for the age, but then when you compare it to modern video games, movies and tv shows, it was mild. Kids today are ages ahead of their past counterparts and these books reflect that.
Hockey fans will find a lot to love here. The play-by-play is really fun to read even for non-sporties like myself.
Cover Art - Eye catching and easy to tell the theme of the books.
