My son loved this book!

This was a book series that my 11-year-old son made sure he had when we got into the car for long drives and took religiously to school with him in case he had a moment of free time in class. Too bad he finished it so quickly! If your son likes soccer, this book has the perfect formula for 10 to 12 year olds. It has been made into a movie, too, so we had a fun family night watching the movie after my son had finished reading it.

I bought this book for my son.

My thirteen year-old son has been playing soccer since he was apprxoimately 5 years old. He loved the Goal I movie and I am always looking for ways to encourage more reading. When I told him that I ordered the Goal II book, he started checking the mail each day to see if it arrive. While I have not read the book yet, Goal II had a magnetic effect on my son; he couldn't put the book down and he finished reading it in less than two days. Based on his reaction alone, I would suggest any soccer lover buy this book!
