"Respecting cultural differences, building a global community, and
the importance of getting involved are powerful, motivating
messages that will resonate with teen readers, not just soccer
fans."--Starred Review, School Library Journal
"An uplifting underdog story that will appeal to readers interested
in the immigrant experience and the surprising role sports can play
in people's lives."--Kirkus Reviews
"Exciting youth soccer action blends with politics . . . filled
with fast kicks, scrimmages, dribbles, crossses, corners, shots,
and misses on the field that will grab kids, as will the harrowing
stories of what the families fled from their continuing
struggle."--Booklist
