Mystery at Lake Placid (Screech Owls)

My older boys love this series! My oldest has been playing travel hockey for 10 years (he's 17). He started reading the Screech Owls when he was 10 years old, but when our 2nd son started reading them several years ago, and newer stories were written, I'd catch Nicholas reading them, too (literally only taking minutes to polish it off!). Our 2nd boy doesn't play hockey (golf and tennis), but he truly enjoys the series. He already put all the news Screech Owl books on his Christmas list for this year.The funny thing is I found this series in LAKE PLACID, NY (our favorite vacation spot) in my favorite book store. How excited was I that I found a book that would keep my son's attention because of hockey, in Lake Placid, about Lake Placid?! It was a win win. Reading is so important, and it's hard sometimes to find interesting book series, especially for boys. So I thank Roy MacGregor, and hope he keeps writing. I only wish to find more authors who would touch on other sports subjects (besides baseball) like Mr MacGregor does. Also, I would love if Mr MacGregor would write books that my 7 year old would enjoy.

I was very pleased with the way the book arrived....it was in great shape and any book about Hockey for my 10 year old boy whom happens to play and LOVE hockey is great! We cannot wait to continue with this series!

I bought this for my 9 year old son and he loves it. Great forbthe hockey lover in your family.

My 8 year old son had a blast reading the books in this series!

I bought this book for my 9 year old son. I was shocked when he told me it had some bad language in it. I read the book for myself and came across the phrase “up yours”, the mentioning about “boobs” twice, and the boys on the team trying to find “adult movies” on the tv at their hotel. Totally inappropriate for a book marketed for ages 9 and up. Very disappointing.

I enjoyed this book alot. Although I am 32 years old, I still enjoy reading the stuff that kids today read. I think it was definitely worth the read.

Didn’t even get through the 1st book. Extremely inappropriate, definitely not age appropriate according to what the product info says. I have a 10 year old who lives and breathes hockey, he was so excited about this series and so disappointed when we had to stop reading due to inappropriate content.

This book is great for children playing hockey and want to hear what the Screech Owls are doing. There is also a show of The Screech Owls.

Fun book especially for hockey lovers.

Great book to motivate young boys.

This is a Christmas gift for my grandson. My son read this series as a kid and loved it. We hope the tradition continues.
