Reviews

I received a free copy of this book from LibraryThing Early Reviewers in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun little book that I would have really enjoyed when I was growing up. I've always been a football (soccer) fan, so this still made it fun to read today. This book is filled with lots of trivia, jokes, quizzes, and much more. Sometimes it was of the corny nature that my younger self would really have enjoyed, but I still found myself chuckling a lot all the same.

There are other books in this series, but this is the first one I have read. This is a great read for the young soccer fan in your life and who knows, you may enjoy it yourself!
