Characterization: Good
Recommended: For reluctant readers and ELL students, or for students in gr. 6-9 who love soccer.
Level: Middle/High School
Kamal and Rodrigo are best friends, on and off the soccer field. They are two of the best players on their team, but their skills aren't enough to secure a win. When new kid Justin shows up looking to play a sport in order to stay in shape for lacrosse, Kamal feels threatened. Justin appears to be a natural athlete, which frustrates Kamal. His jealousy comes out in full force when he learns that Rodrigo has been running soccer drills with Justin in order to help the guy out. Kamal has to decide whether he can put aside his jealousy for the good of the team or let his insecurities ruin everything.
Written for reluctant readers at a 590 Lexile level, this is a great book for my soccer-loving ELL students. It is not too long, with relatively short and simple sentences, but best of all, there is a LOT of soccer action. The drama between Kamal and Justin is a little over the top, but most kids will put up with that in order to get the soccer play-by-plays. There are five other books in this series, and I will be purchasing them as well.… (altro)
