Here is the long-awaited paperback edition of Gretzky's Game, the fifth in the bestselling Hockey Heroes series from Mike Leonetti.

Ryan loves to play hockey. But Ryan is small for his age and tends to get pushed around. He really wants to make the select team this year, but has to practise extra hard to get through the tryout.

Ryan's hero is Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky is small, too, but he sure can skate and score. And he is leading the Oilers in the Stanley Cup finals against the reigning champs, the New York Islanders. Inspired by Gretzky's example, Ryan makes the select team--and his hero leads the Oilers to Edmonton's first ever Cup win! Gretzky's Game is a heartwarming story about overcoming obstacles and believing in yourself.

"Game-by-game, goal-by-goal and, sometimes, play-by-play ... guaranteed to appeal to old souls as well as the newly converted." (Globe and Mail on The Greatest Goal)
