Hockey Super Six #2
On Thin Ice
Will the Hockey Super Six thwart their enemy’s plans for world domination in book two of this action-packed series? In the second book pitting six ordinary kids with super hockey skills against the forces of evil, Jenny, Benny, Mo, Starlight, DJ and Karl desperately need to stay out of Crosscheck’s grasp! Their last run-in revealed to evil scientist (and former mediocre goalie) Clarence Crosscheck the scope of some of their secret powers ― powers he can use in his never-ending quest for world domination. Hard at work on a robot army to do his bidding, Crosscheck underestimates how strong the Super Six can be when they work together as a team. Get ready for high-stakes ice battles, non-stop hijinks and never-before-seen hockey action (it’s kids vs robots, and some giant lizards too)!

I was compelled to read this one immediately after the first in the series (The Puck Drops Here), so I knew I was in for another high-energy, triple-dose-imaginative, wacky ride. Where else does one find a novel/comic-book hybrid in which a diverse, six-kid team has to save the world by playing hockey?
This one involves facing off on highly unstable ice against what look like giant attack lizards but are actually just supersized geckos. There's a robot puck that can morph into what looks like a dog, and is conflicted between working for an evil scientist and being admired by kids who remember him as a nice guy.
There's a cackling bad-guy with a fondness for fish-brain smoothies, and who uses a special watch to control enormous hockey-playing robots. The kids are horrified to find themselves playing on melting ice that plunges them into muddy sinkholes, and dealing with a mind-controlled former teammate who ties them up with hockey tape mid-game.
But given that the team captain's super power is re-freezing the rink, and there's a glitch in the evil robots' microchips, plus a puck who betrays his master and a prime minister who can score a goal, it's all good. Until the next book in the series, anyway.

He scores again! The second book in the Hockey Super Six series finds the team learning more about their powers, and saving the country from the tyrannical leadership of the new prime minister. Kids will LOVE this humorous, highly illustrated series. I highly recommend you add it to your collection.
