The Screech Owls is a series of juvenile fiction novels by Canadian author Roy MacGregor.
Although MacGregor often refers back to events that occurred in previous books in the series, the static ages of the players and the seemingly never-ending hockey season contradict any definite time line.
The books themselves, all of which are told from the point of view of team captain, Travis Lindsay, provide light action and mystery for the young reader.
Terrorists, murderers, kidnappers, ghosts and other improbable anomalies befall the preteen in between, and sometimes during, their hockey games and tournaments.
