The boys are excited to learn the new kid, Fabio, has a famous father - the one and only Giacomo Ribaldo - a soccer star.  However, the boys soon learn that Fabio will have nothing to do with them.  Little do they know it's not Fabio snubbing them, but Fabio's father trying to keep his son from playing on an "inferior team."

So the team does the only thing they know how - fight back.

The Wild Soccer Bunch Diego the Tornado is a great middle grade reader.  It's packed full of action, adventure, subtle lessons, never giving up and, of course, soccer.  Your child will love this book and will want to read it over and over again.

Soccer World Spain Explore the World Through Soccer

I loved Ethan Zohn on Survivor and now he's put out his own series of children's books co-authored with David Rosenberg.

Soccer World Spain Explore the World Through Soccer is the third in the series.  This book takes your child on a wonderful adventure with Ethan and his young friend, Javier, to explore Spain.  The book includes fascinating facts, projects to do, words to learn in Spanish, landmarks, Spanish traditions and culture and so much more.  The story doesn't feel forced and flows along as Ethan explores this wonder country.

I had a blast learning things I never knew about Spain!  Plus, your child doesn't need to be "in" to soccer to enjoy this book.  It's excellent and a must have for any classroom or home library.

The illustrations done by Chad Thompson capture Ethan's looks and that of Spain to a "T". 

Check out Soccer World Spain on Nomad Press, Amazon, Barnes & Noble or your local book store.

Summer Week Continues - The Wild Soccer Bunch

Come meet a rag-tag team of eleven friends and one lovable dog. They call themselves “The Wild Bunch” and their passion is soccer.

As winter turns to spring and the school break finally arrives, the boys’ are anxious to hit the field at any cost. But, once they arrive, they discover a group of large, angry bullies already there – The Unbeatables. With names like the Grim Reaper, Humungous, Octopus and Bull Dozer, these kids are anyone’s worst nightmare. Soon the Wild Bunch find themselves locked in a challenge for possession of the only soccer field in town.

All hope is lost until Larry, an almost soccer pro and owner of the lemonade stand, agrees to coach them. His unorthodox training methods give this team more than they bargained for, but will it be enough?

Told by nine-year-old Kevin, this middle-grade novel isn’t only fun and funny, it touches on some serious aspects of life; Diego has asthma, Roger is timid, Joey lives in a van with his mom, Larry the coach struggles with life’s defeats. The kids learn some serious life-lessons and even Larry walks away a better man.
