The Screech Owls are on the road again, on a bumpy plane ride way up North that will land them in some very deep trouble!
When Jesse Highboy’s dad asked the Screech Owls how they felt about going to James Bay to play in the First Nations Peewee Hockey Tournament, everyone thought it was a great idea.
It was the first time a non-native team had been invited, and the pressure would be on the Owls to live up to the honour and play some good clean hockey. More important, Travis and his teammates would also get the chance to stay with local native families, eat traditional food, travel by Ski-Doo, and experience what life in the North is all about.
But freezing to death all alone in the bush, with a storm howling and the dreaded Trickster stalking the night? No one had asked the Screech Owls how they felt about that!
The Screech Owls’ Northern Adventure is the third book in the Screech Owls Series.

Children's Literature
Travis, Nish, Jesse, Liz and the other players of the Screech Owl Pee Wee hockey team are invited by Jesse's aunt to play in the Pee Wee hockey tournament sponsored by the First Nations Pee Wee hockey league in James Bay. As with most adventures, it is only a matter of time before Nish, the grumbling complainer of the group gets into trouble. Travis, as the team captain is the focus of this story, and is presented as level headed and intelligent. It isn't until Nish breaks through the ice, and he sees how Jesse and his cousin Rachel react to the on coming storm that he feels out of control and helpless. Between Nish's rescue from falling through the ice, cooked moose nostrils and the Trickster, there is plenty of adventure and humor in this tale. MacGregor's story is full of adventure and cultural appreciation woven in with some great hockey. Join the Screech Owls on their third adventure into the great north of Canada's James Bay.
