The Screech Owls are in Washington, D.C., for the International Goodwill Peewee Championship – and Nish is about to become a “news flash” seen round the world! Literally. Because the craziest Owl ever has a brand-new plan: to streak the White House.

His way into the White House, he believes, is through the Screech Owls’ new friend, who not only plays centre for the Washington Wall, but just happens to be the son of the U.S. president!

It is a hockey tournament with a difference: secret-service agents, sniffer dogs, metal detectors, worldwide media attention – and the most cunning political assassination plan in modern history.

When the Owls head for a “normal” kids’ day out with their new friend, the president’s son, they have no idea they are about to get involved in a dangerous international power play, with murder the real game plan of their opponents.
