GOAL!: The Dream Begins Paperback – Illustrated, April 1, 2006

My 13 year old avid soccer player loved this book! Finished it in 2 days!

My husband bought this for one of his 5th graders. The kid finished it in about 3 days and gave it a 9/10.

Great movie especially for anyone who loves or aspires to play soccer professionally or otherwise. Inspirational sports film, appropriate for kids. Only bummer is it's not a true story.

My son read this book...twice. Good old fashioned story of hope and hard work. He loved it! I think he may just read it again.

Thank you for the variety of books you have offer for our teachers.

Excellent

Finding fiction that will engage those tough to reach teen boys has always been a challenge for us in school libraries. If the book has sports, a great cover, and multicultural themes, it will be a winner. This one is definitely a SCORE for my wonderful, but reluctant readers. In fact, one of them recommended it to me, and he was right on goal!

My 12 year old son loves this book. He keeps it on his night stand and reads the ending match every night. It is a great book about how working hard always pays off
