The Rocket
by Mike Leonetti,
illustrated by Greg Banning

Andre loves to play hockey, but he’s tired of hearing how he’ll never be as good as his older brother. One thing Andre and his brother share, though, is a love of the Montreal Canadiens. And the team’s new star, Maurice “Rocket” Richard, is giving the fans lots to cheer about. When the Canadiens make it to the playoffs, Andre’s father is lucky enough to get tickets. And it is there, at the Forum, in an historic, action-packed game that Andre discovers something that changes the way he looks at hockey, his brother and his family.
