Book #2 in the Henry Heckelbeck series
A young boy tries out for the school soccer team as a goalie, but faces competition from a new student who is also a skilled goalie.
Henry Heckelbeck dreams of being the soccer team's goalie, but new star Max Maplethorpe stands in his way. With a magical family, Henry wonders if using his Book of Spells could secure his spot. Is magic the key to success, or will it lead to trouble on the field? As the soccer season kicks off, Henry faces a dilemma: rely on his own skills or tap into the magic that surrounds him. Dive into this enchanting adventure where the line between fair play and wizardry blurs, and discover what it truly means to be a hero.
Henry uses magic while playing soccer in this second Henry Heckelbeck adventure! Henry Heckelbeck is just like any other normal kid. He plays soccer. He isn’t a huge fan of homework. He even has an older sister, Heidi. What’s not so normal about Henry is his family. His sister and mom are magic. Not Henry, though…he’s just a normal kid. Or is he? Henry Heckelbeck is excited to start the soccer season. He really wants to be the teams’ goalie this year, but there’s a new star player on the team, Max Maplethorpe. Is magic the answer to being the MVP on the soccer field, or would using his Book of Spells be cheating? What’s a wizard to do? With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Henry Heckelbeck chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
