Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
While growing up on the tough streets of Los Angeles, Santiago's greatest joy is playing soccer. So it is a dream come true when a British scout sees him playing in the park and offers him a trial with one of England's top Premiership clubs. Determined to succeed, Santiago leaves behind his struggling family and his modest home, and flies halfway around the world to give it his best shot.
But it's not smooth sailing when Santiago arrives in northern England. Team practices are intense, and in this place where people live and breathe the sport, many seem eager to find fault with the new Latino player from L.A. The pressure even spurs Santiago to keep a secret that could sabotage his performance. There is no doubt that Santiago has skill, flair, and dedication. But does he have the stamina he will need for the English game?
Based on the action-packed movie, Goal! is a gripping tale of trial and tribulation set against the backdrop of the world's most popular and exciting sport.

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

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!
