Fortunately, Isaac’s friend Lily tags along — she just might be the best goalie this side of the Milky Way. But interstellar hockey isn’t like hockey on Earth. Opposing players are electrified, or shaped like trees, or built like actual boulders. And even if Isaac is able to whip the octopus-like Pods into shape, Emperor Mad Maroon, the ruler of Galaxia, might not release the Earthlings. Can Isaac score a win in the Galaxia Championship Tournament . . . and get back to home ice?
