About this book

Henry uses magic while playing soccer in this second Henry Heckelbeck adventure! Henry Heckelbeck is just like any other normal kid. He plays soccer. He isn’t a huge fan of homework. He even has an older sister, Heidi. What’s not so normal about Henry is his family. His sister and mom are magic. Not Henry, though…he’s just a normal kid. Or is he? Henry Heckelbeck is excited to start the soccer season. He really wants to be the teams’ goalie this year, but there’s a new star player on the team, Max Maplethorpe.

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Henry Heckelbeck chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
