Maverick and the Shiny Jersey - Hardcover

by Gina Usufzy (Author), Abdul Usufzy (Author), Jason Velazquez (Illustrator)

Maverick and Jimmy have always been inseparable-best friends, linemates, and dreamers with one big goal: to play pro hockey together someday. But when Jimmy makes the rival Thunderhawks team and shows up in a shiny new jersey, Maverick feels left behind.

Why did Jimmy leave? Are they still best friends? Can their friendship survive when they're no longer on the same team?

Maverick and the Shiny Jersey is a heartwarming story about friendship, change, and learning that real bonds go deeper than the uniforms we wear. With interactive bubble questions throughout, young readers are invited to reflect on their own friendships and discover that even when paths change, true friends can still share the same dream.
