Number Four, Bobby Orr!

by Mike Leonetti, Shayne Letain (Illustrations)

Joey and his dad are big hockey fans, and their favorite player is Bobby Orr, the Boston Bruins’s amazing defenseman. One day while playing hockey, Joey breaks his leg. From his hospital bed, he follows the Bruins’s thrilling Stanley Cup run and watches as his hero scores goal after goal. Then — miraculously! — Mr. Orr visits Joey in the hospital. He tells Joey about his bad knees and all the operations he’s had. Joey can hardly wait to tell his friends about the visit. But will he ever play hockey again? And will the Bruins win the Cup? This inspirational story is based on a real incident in Bobby Orr’s life.
