ICE MAGIC A strange power is at work in the rink... Pie Pennelli loves to play ice hockey, but he's got some problems: his hand-me-down skates are too big for him, and one of his teammates is always giving him a hard time. But Pie's troubles really begin when his next-door neighbors find an antique hockey game. They swear the game is magic and can predict every play Pie's team will make When the magic game shows Pie immobilized in midgame, what does it mean for Pie on the ice?

Industry Reviews

Fly League hockey player Pie Pennelli has two problems, teammate Terry the Terrible Mason's unexplained hostility and a pair of over-sized hand-me-down skates that trip him up during crucial plays. But just when this begins to read like a replay, Christopher introduces the little Byrd twins next door, whose 1896 toy hockey game has the apparent power to predict the course and outcome of upcoming games. Just as a pregame trial on the Byrds' toy has foretold, Pie loses the last game and is put out of action by a broken blade, but the final outcome is friendship with Terry and a new pair of skates. Thus when Terry's cat Tipper at last breaks the antique game's magic it has already accomplished its purpose - not only for Pie but also as supernatural assist to a formula sports story.
