Josh, Sam, and Peter are together for their last summer at hockey camp, and this time, they're on the same team. Josh is certain that nothing could be better until he discovers that his card shark cousin, Troy, is gambling with the team's success.
Quick Summary
Josh, Sam, and Peter are heading into their final summer at hockey camp, and being on the same team feels like the perfect ending to their crew. Things get a little wild when Josh's cousin Troy shows up with a deck of cards and starts making bets that could jeopardize the whole season. The story balances the high-energy chaos of camp life with the real worry of trying to keep your friendships and your team's reputation intact. Kids who love sports, especially hockey, and anyone who enjoys a bit of friendly mischief will find plenty to laugh at, while parents will appreciate the underlying message about honesty and teamwork. At around 24,000 words, it's a fast read that still packs enough drama to keep readers turning pages, and it reads a lot like a shorter, hockey-flavored version of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" or the sports-packed fun of "The Crossover."
