Game Time: Rebel Power Play

by David Skuy

Charlie finds himself battling with egos on his hockey team ― only this time it's the coach who needs to check himself. Charlie is unhappy that he has missed tryouts for the local league. Just when he thinks he won't be able to play AAA hockey he meets Tom Dunn, a sponsor, who encourages Charlie to try out for his new team, The Hawks. Things are looking up until practices start and the team realizes that Dunn is not coach material. As they lose game after game and lose half the team to fighting, it is left up to Charlie and some others to take matters into their own hands. But can they rebuild the team on their own?

I gave this book a 5* review because it was like the second part of off the crossbar. It involves Charlie who is wanting to play bantam AAA hockey with his friends but when he gets on the team with all his friends the team was booted so Charlie and Pudge decide to take it upon them selves to make their own team. I would recommend this book to hockey players and to people who are into hockey.

I found that Rebel Power Play was a very fast and up-beat book. While I was reading this book, I noticed that I never really got bored or distracted, rather than when I did during past readings. I've noticed that after reading a bunch of David Skuy books, I've become a lot more open to the books that David has written. I also found that I could relate to almost everything that happened during the book. For example: some of the saying that were used in the book, like the use of the word "sick" and "dope". Also, some of the characters in this book would also do some of the same stuff with eachother as I would do with my friends.

This is the third David Skuy book that I have read. I have found that David must have been a similar kid to which I now back in his day. I would give this book a rating of 9.5/10. The book itself is not far from a 10. But, I think that the author could've spent a little more time actually relating his writing to more 14 year olds. But then again, 9.5 is still a great rating, and I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Skuy. I would defenitely reccomend this book to any other kid who has a passion for the sport of hockey, or any other person that loves to read.

I thought the book never got boring and I also liked it because I like sports and the book was about hockey that's why I gave it 5 STARS. :)
