Richie agrees but he tells Trisha that she has to get in gear for his big hockey game. What will happen in the ballet recital and the hockey game? i would use this book for independent reading in my classroom. This book is intended for older grades than the younger ones in elementary school. The book could be used to read if they have completed work early or just have free time.
