by Robert Munsch (Author), Michael Martchenko (Illustrator)
Ciara is tired of hauling her hockey gear across town to play on the rink. It makes no sense -- there is a perfectly good frozen river in her own backyard But her dad says it's too jagged, and her mom says it's too bumpy, and her older sisters don't see why she can't keep going all the way across town, just like they did. But Ciara won't let anybody stop her. And with a little help from the neighbourhood, she knows that her team, the River Rink Rats, will finally win a game on their own brand new rink.
In classic Robert Munsch style, this warm fun story of community and hockey takes a hilarious turn. With the excitement and pace of a real hockey match, the River Rink Rats play their final game on their new rink. The pressure is on; the crowd is watching; Ciara has the puck; the crowd keeps watching; the ice starts to CRACK ; Ciara keeps playing; the ice starts to drift; the crowd starts running; Ciara shoots to SCORE and . . .
You can be sure that no matter how the game ends, there will be hot chocolate
