Joey's hero is Bobby Orr, the Boston Bruins' rushing defenseman. But one day Joey hurts his leg playing hockey. From his hospital bed, he watches the Bruins' thrilling Stanley-Cup run and sees Bobby scoring goal after goal. Then Mr. Orr himself comes to visit Joey in hospital. Joey can hardly wait to get back to school and tell his friends all about the visit. But will he ever play hockey again? And will the Bruins win the Cup? To his surprise, Joey finds that his favourite player holds the answers to both these questions.
A moving story about overcoming obstacles, Number Four, Bobby Orr! is the sequel to the wildly successful My Leafs Sweater and The Greatest Goal. The colourful illustrations by Shayne Letain evoke the era with great charm and humour.
Mike Leonetti is the author of the acclaimed children's bestsellers My Leafs Sweater and The Greatest Goal, as well as the adult books Maple Leaf Legends and The Game We Knew series. Shayne Letain is an illustrator and hockey fan living in New Westminster, B.C.; this is his first book.
