Review: Hockey Wars 15 Graduation
It was a delight to follow this wholesome group of young teens as they celebrated the end of Middle School (grade 8 in the USA) and their academic and sporting achievements, cheering each other on and planning towards their futures.
I like that the group of girls and boys have been just friends enjoying hanging out together but now about to enter High School (turning 14) they are beginning to pair up experiencing the first thoughts of a relationship. Sweet, wholesome and good fun!.
Young readers will love all the fanfare of getting ready for graduation and will relate to the worries about losing friendships when they go to different high schools.
This edition mainly focuses on the graduation and the characters' burgeoning relationships but there are still plenty of sport filled moments with a golf day and a friendly hockey match.
Tanya Zeinalova's illustrations are an added delight and I loved trying to pick which illustration was which character.
My rating 4 /5 🎓🎓🎓🎓
Recommended age 10 -14 years
