Oct 13, 2024 (Updated Oct 13, 2024)
2024 sequel to the 2015 original, in which Riley has now grown up and is off to Hockey Camp just as she also hits puberty - cue new emotions Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment and Envy all appearing in her 'Numskul' style control room, alongside the existing Joy, Sadness, Disgust and Fear.
Anxiety takes over.
Like the original, this does a good job of showing how we need *all* emotions, not just one or two, in order to operate ...

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated The Boston Breakout in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I had no idea that such an awesome series of books for young people existed! Of course as a huge hockey fan I am biased. I received [The Boston Breakout] free in return for a review and I can tell you I will be looking to purchase the rest. [Roy MacGregor] has created characters that you would find on any team but the Screech Owls are still a family even with all their quirks.
In this story they are playing a summer tournament in Boston. Their coach insists on making all trips educational, which most players enjoy. This trip they go to the aquarium. There are some animal rights activists there and one of the players falls under their spell. They get information about the plans of the group and have to act to stop it.
[MacGregor's] description of hockey is spot on and the addition of local history and some mystery makes these ideals books for young readers. I will be introducing my niece to them. Especially the one involving MSG. Go Rangers!

Merissa (12723 KP) rated Over the Line (Sierra Hockey #1) in Books
Dec 7, 2023
OVER THE LINE is the first book in a new hockey series, Sierra Hockey, with a character who has shown up in other books by this author - Lake Jordan.
I know I'm going to be in the minority here, but I struggled with these characters, I'm afraid. Nova had a lot of good qualities but was WAY too forgiving, and prepared to just go with the flow. That's okay so long as you don't get walked all over, and she was, by many people. How Lake spoke to her and she just accepted it. Lake is a grumpy git, with reason. But in pushing Nova away, he is not just grumpy, he is downright cruel. And he never apologised for his words after the first time in the kitchen. He's amazed Nova just let it go, and so was I! As for the exes (boyfriend and sister), I have no idea why Nova was with them for so long, especially if her feet get itchy when the going gets tough.
Anyway, moving swiftly past them, the world-building of this story was just what I would expect. There is plenty to be done in this hockey team, and I look forward to reading about the players mentioned so far. The pacing was brilliant, with never a dull moment.
I look forward to learning more about this team and the world they live in.
