Knowing nothing about the book previously, I was surprised, almost disappointed, that only three centers were featured.

The book is very eye catching and, despite the lack of contemporary star players, the book is sure to be a hit with its intended audience. The 110 pages are full of surprisingly in depth biographies and color photos as well as statistics and facts.

The book, aimed at ages 9 through 12, looks at the lives and careers of three of hockey's greatest players: Jean Beliveau, Wayne Gretzky and Vincent Lecavalier. In what appears to be the first in a series of new titles from Scholastic, veteran childrens/young adult author Mike Leonetti offers us Hockey Greats: Awesome Centres.
