Brady Brady and the Missed Hatrick

Brady Brady

by Mary Shaw

Brady Brady books are hockey ― with heart! A big snowfall has blanketed Brady’s street. But it’s hard to focus on shoveling when there’s a game of shinny going on and Brady doesn’t exactly finish his chore. Later, under the guise of taking his dog Hatrick for a walk, Brady ties him up and rejoins the game. Brady returns home tired but happy ― that shinny game was epic! But his good mood suddenly turns when Brady realizes he’s left his faithful friend behind . . . and now Hatrick is missing! Will Brady find his beloved canine pal? The Brady series is much-loved by teachers and coaches for its engaging character education themes. In Brady Brady and the Missed Hatrick Brady and his family confront issues focusing on responsibility and consequences.
