Well-written and full of positive attitudes and role models for a variety of issues. Published in 1997, so some of the references are outdated and a few allusions to things, such as Charlie the Tuna TV ads, are likely unknown to today's…

A bit rough for a kids’ book (there are two deaths – one by murder), but a good story and a powerful denouncement of racism. The Dad in the story is truly infuriating, as is the protagonist junior high student Paul’s ability to put up…

I read this book in my free time and it turned out to be a very good book but the situations that happened in the book and the way the family were it was very sad. Besides that it was a great book!

I usually do not read realistic fiction, but this is an exception for me. I remember my 8th grade English teacher reading this to us and I loved it. I think it would make a great movie.

I really liked this book. I had to read it for school, and did it very willingly. It's not something I'd normally pick up, but with the soccer themes and the relatable character, I did, and I don't regret it. :D
