Bobby eats, sleeps and breathes ice hockey. So with his birthday coming up, he only wants one thing: brand new skates. But when Bobby finally opens his gift, he finds instead a pair of hand-me-down skates- scuffed, nicked, and ill-fitting. Bobby doesn't give up. He works very hard, making the skates his own, and his determination helps shape him as a successful hockey player and person. Book is in good condition, delightful colorful hardcover with sturdy dust jacket
