The Boston Breakout



The Screech Owls hockey team are in Boston for a tournament.  Along the way they also stumble across an animal rights protest group that takes matters to the extreme.  

I had really hoped to like this more than I did.  With the local connection I felt that my students might relate to the Boston location and the aquarium and other sites.  Unfortunately the hockey parts seemed disjointed with the rest of the book.  I also had a hard time with the characters.  Was it about Nish mainly and his decision to drop out of school?  Travis? Sarah?  Samantha?  It just seemed all over the place to me.  I did like the ending but overall it didn't work for me.
