When hockey and friendship collide!

An old friendship is pushed to its limits as Millie and Cameron face off against each other in a grudge match to finally see who’s got the best hockey team in Dakota.

Millie and Cameron grew up as close as any two friends could be, playing together on the same hockey team and hanging out together after school. However, when the hockey team was split between boys and girls, their friendship began to change, and not for the better.

Now, Millie and Cameron are rivals, playing against each other to finally settle who has the best hockey team, boys or girls?

What's It About? An old friendship is pushed to its limits as Millie and Cameron face off against each other in a grudge match to finally see who’s got the best hockey team in Dakota. The team has already been chosen, but a late addition could change their entire season. Mia arrives in the small town of Dakota, throwing the girl's hockey team into a panic. It’s the first hockey tournament of the season, and for many of the girls and boys on the two teams, it’s their first tournament. They’ll get to experience all the pressure and excitement as they play off for the Ice Fest Tournament Trophy! It’s the end of the regular hockey season, and that means only one thing, it’s championship time! The girls and boys of the Dakota Hurricanes and Lightning have been working hard all season to qualify for championships, and now the big weekends here! With a big season of lacrosse weekends ahead, these young kids were facing a steep learning curve, and only time would tell if they were going to be up to the challenge.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewed By Louanne Piccolo for Readers' Favorite

Who has the best ice-hockey team - the girls or the boys? Hockey Wars by Sam Lawrence and Ben Jackson is a thrilling action chapter book. Although intended for children from ages 8 to 12, younger hockey fans will also get a kick out of the feud between the two hockey teams, the Lightning and Hurricanes. Cameron and Millie, friends from a very young age, have recently become sworn enemies. As captains for opposing teams who must play against each other for the right to use an outdoor pond to train on, their relationship is threatened. Which captain will lead their team on to victory? And will Cameron and Millie realize in time that by winning they might be losing something more important than a hockey game?

Sam Lawrence and Ben Jackson have written a fast-paced story that builds in momentum, hurtling young readers towards a satisfying ending, while teaching them the value of friendship. Hockey Wars, all about high-octane excitement for hockey fans, is also a character-driven chapter book showing the growth and development of Millie and Cameron as they realize that winning may cost them more than the loss of an ice-hockey pond. The book's characters ring true to young readers as they behave in ways consistent with their age and context. Millie is strong, Cameron determined, and the rest of the characters believable and engaging. Hockey Wars draws readers irresistibly into the story while teaching a valuable life-lesson in the most natural and compelling way. Don't read it because you're a hockey fan, but simply because you're a fan of great children's fiction! I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Millie’s parents made her keep a B average in school otherwise she could kiss hockey goodbye.
She no longer played for the Lightening.
The girls formed an all-female team & called it the Dakota Hurricanes.
The team members are: Millie (captain, center), Georgia (left winger), Ashlyn, Lola (twin daughter/sister, right wing), Daylyn (twin daughter/Lola’s sister), Khloe (goalie), Sage (forward), & Violet (forward).

The Lightning’s hockey team consist of: Cameron (captain), Logan (Millie’s cousin, goalie), Luke, Hunter, Linkin Marsh, Ben, Rhys, Preston,
Both girl/boy kids on the hockey teams went to Dakota MS.
Cameron still ran the Lightening Hockey team.
Millie, & Cameron are going to play each other to see who’s the best hockey team in Dakota.
It was time for the game to begin. Jon (HS), & Bev (HS) would officiate/ref the hockey game.

Will the girls or boys win?

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great colored pictures & proper font & writing style. A very well written MS age hockey adventure story book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great hockey adventure movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; Indie Publishing Group; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

The complexity yet innocence found within a children's book will always amaze me. This read was quick and easy, but utterly powerful at the same time. I love reading to my children, especially when it's something meaningful and worthwhile.

My 10.5 year old son really enjoyed it, but it was a fast read for him. Would definitely recommend for a younger age, maybe around 8 or 9 would be perfect.

Millie and Cameron love ice hockey, they live and breath the sport. The used to be friends and on the same team. Now however there are two teams in the small village, Millie’s all girls teams and Cameron’s all boys team. There is one problem though, there is only one place to practice and they have to take it in turns.

When Millie turns up late for practice one evening Cameron tries to push his way onto the ice saying she has forfeited her teams turn. after an argument ensues the pair agree to settle things once and for all. They are to have a match against one another and the winning team gets the ice for the rest of the season.

The match causes strain amongst the once friends and their teammates. Is there a way to sort their issues out before they go too far?

Hockey Wars is the first book in a new series from husband and wife author team, Ben Jackson and Sam Lawrence. Being from the UK it’s hard to think about kids getting so hyped up over ice hockey as it’s not a sport often played here, but I suppose it’s just like kids getting annoyed with one another if there was only one football pitch about and they had to share.

The book deals with compassion, friendships, and competition. Millie and Cameron are both stubborn and they make their teammates and friends choose sides over something which could have been settled easily and amicably had they been a little older and more experienced.

The book is complemented with some wonderful artwork which really brings the story to life and will make children more engaged with the plot. Hopefully, they will also learn that whilst its good to have rival teams, good sportsmanship behaviour is better and that sometimes you have to decide what is right and wrong for yourself.

An enjoyable book that covers a lot of information children need to learn about to grow as individuals.

My 4 year old son loves hockey and we are always looking for chapter books to read at night that aren't scary/intense/dangerous. This fit the bill perfectly.

It's definitely aimed more toward middle school kids but I don't have any problems reading it to a younger kid. In fact, I enjoyed it too. I've already pre-ordered the sequel!

This was a Christmas present for our 8 year old grandson and he started reading it almost immediately and finished it within a few days. The writing is perfect for this age group and probably even older children as well and the book was well spaced out with good line drawings. This was no 1 of a series so will definitely be buying nos 2 and 3 for his birthday.
