Gr 6–9—Surprisingly thorough biographies outline the entire lives thus far of today's biggest soccer superstars. Each book details the struggles and successes that led them on their paths to superstardom. With play-by-play descriptions of significant games, details on their career-defining goals, and insight from teammates and coaches, readers will learn more about their favorite athletes than ever before. Each book is slightly unique in its layout. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is known for his weird, witty quotes, so his book includes a section of some of his bizarre sayings. Neymar stans are called Neymarzetes and you can bet they are living for his debut as a recording artist called "Neymusico." Readers who love to learn about athletes' personal lives as well as their professional accomplishments will find much to enjoy here. Each book ends with a quiz to test reader comprehension. VERDICT These are four of the biggest stars in soccer. Invest in them all.
