In his fifth book, Charlie and his two best friends play on the same ten-and-under soccer team. The Pirates are rookies, but under the tutelage of composed, patient coach Mr. Carmody, the kids steadily improve their skills and gain confidence as a team. Peppered with black-and-white spot illustrations, Charlie's relatable everyday adventures and underdog athletic struggles provide plenty of giggles.
