Mo hits the ice in the perenially popular, Geisel Award-winning Mo Jackson series by David A. Adler!
Mo and his dad are practicing before the big ice hockey game against the Ducks later that day. Mo is having trouble staying upright as he skates across the rink, but everyone tells him to keep his head up. When the game starts, Mo sits on the bench and waits for his turn to go in. He enters the game just in time to assist the Geese’s best player, Amy, as she’s double-teamed by the Ducks. Can Mo score the game-winning shot just before the buzzer or will he loose his balance on the ice?
