Set against a backdrop of a mysterious, uncharted island, the story follows a group of young scouts who navigate the challenges of survival while drawing upon the skills and virtues of scouting. Stuart employs vivid descriptions and a straightforward yet engaging prose style that appeals specifically to a youthful audience, all while reflecting the prevailing ethos of early 20th-century adventure literature, characterized by its emphasis on self-reliance and moral integrity. Gordon Stuart, known for his contributions to juvenile literature, cultivated a deep appreciation for nature and adventure throughout his life. His own experiences as a scout likely informed the authenticity of the characters' spirit and challenges they face, making it plausible that the author's personal values shaped the ideals depicted in the narrative.

    Ice hockey is perhaps the most unique sport ever created. It is one of the few team sports played on ice, and the athletes that play the game have to train very differently compared to most other sports. Hockey players need to master not only going forwards but going backward as well. 
    No other sport has changed as much as ice hockey has. From the evolution of goalie techniques, the design of the skates, and the materials used to make the sticks, this game has certainly gone through many phases. In this book, Adam Rothstein goes through the history of the game, the rules, his hockey journey, and how you can become a ref, coach, or player. This audiobook was created to grow the sport of hockey.
