New York Times bestseller E. K. Johnston’s middle-grade debut is an utterly charming, witty, and gloriously inclusive magic-tinged caper in the Canadian wilderness.

Hayley Rilko was born to play hockey—and cursed to ruin whatever team she plays for. As long as she’s still a kid, the curse’s magic doesn't stick, but everyone knows her time is running out. The two things Hayley has on her side are her family--four generations of it, all carrying the same curse she does--and one last summer vacation in the Ontario Northwoods, where her great grandfather disappeared and the curse began.

As the clock runs down and the magical mysteries pile up, Hayley realizes that just following the evidence isn't going to be enough. She's going to have to talk to someone who has the information she needs—even if it means raising the dead. With her cousins on her team, Hayley sets out to do what no one else has been able to: find her great grandfather's body and break the curse, no matter what it takes.

"A thrilling mystery, a decades-long curse, and the delightful magic of hockey!"—Ngozi Ukazu, New York Times bestselling author of Check, Please!

"The Third Period c
omeback is a perfect coming-of-age blend of spooky and sports. With wit and charm, E.K. Johnston brings us a starting lineup of delightful characters and page-turning stakes—and skates. It’s so good that even lifelong hockey nuts like myself will almost want to root for the Toronto Maple Leafs. (Almost.)—Mike Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Of Sorcery and Science and former NHL journalist.

"I loved the humor, the honesty, and of course the mystery and the magic. E.K. Johnston is so skilled at creating likeable characters and supportive friendships, and it was a pleasure to get to know this group of curse-breaking cousins on vacation together in northern Ontario."—Robin Stevenson, Stonewall Honor winning author of The Book of Jupiter

"The sports story hockey girls are waiting for: period drama, curses, and the enduring closeness of extended family."—SLJ

"Snappy dialogue moves the narrative along at a fast clip.... A witty and fun tale."—Kirkus

"A jovial, boisterous family story."—Publishers Weekly
