1-3Soccer 'Cats series.
Illustrated by
Daniel Vasconcellos.
Suitable for the reluctant-reader/avid-athlete crowd, these easy-to-digest chapter books combine lots of soccer action with formulaic lessons for life on and off the field. In Secret Weapon, Lisa, one of the smallest players, wows her team with a flip throw-in. Hat Trick follows Stookie's one-man game plan: hogging the ball rather than passing to his teammates. The black-and-white line drawings show cleat-clad characters fully engaged in their sport.
