(3) K-3 Illustrated by A. G. Ford. In a South African alley, a group of friends try to protect one boy's new "federation-size" soccer ball from neighborhood bullies. The realistic oil paintings are richly detailed, conveying universal feelings of fear, friendship, and team spirit. Readers will empathize with these children although they live a very different life.
