By Mary Sutton / @mary_sutton73

It’s finally happened. Summer is over and the kids are back in school. Depending on whether you are a kid or a parent, this could be good or bad.

For me, summer always meant two things: time at the pool, and time to read – not just books my teachers told me to read, but anything I wanted to read! Of course, many of those paperbacks went to the pool with me (I mean, a kid has to do something during periods of “adult only swim,” right?).

Power Play Day with Stacy Juba

by Mary Sutton / @mary_sutton73

And hockey is very much front and center in Stacy Juba’s young adult book, Face Off. The book, a re-issue of the original, deals with twins Brad and TJ, whose rivalry isn’t limited to the action on the ice. Who will come out on top? You’ll have to read (or listen) to find out.
