About the Book

Book: It’s Hockey Season

Author: Jayne J. Jones Beehler

Genre: JUVENILE FICTION / Sports & Recreation/Hockey

It’s Hockey Season tells the tale of two brothers, Blaine and Cullen, who love ice
hockey and each other. Cullen is the all-star team captain and his brother Blaine,
who has Down syndrome, is the team manager. Blaine is clearly the unsung hero
of the team; his leadership and unselfish actions speak louder than words. Young

In My Opinion

As a fan of hockey, the title of this book attracted me, but it’s the lessons inside of It’s Hockey Season by Jayne J. Jones Beehler that left an impression.

Yes, there is definitely some hockey happening throughout the book. Even more notably, there are some bad attitudes happening and young readers will see how poor temperaments affect others. Even brothers can hurt each other.

Beehler makes this story flow as she shares the importance of including everyone despite their differences and that, sometimes, it’s the quiet, unassuming person who can make the biggest difference.

The illustrations go well with the story, making It’s Hockey Season a great read for those little readers moving to chapter books. But this book is also a wonderful one to read as a family and discuss.
