Neymar: A Soccer Dream Come True

32 pp. | Farrar | May, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-31066-0 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Hoppe. Javaherbin dynamically relates Brazilian soccer star Neymar de Silva Santos Jr.'s biography through Neymar's imagined first-person perspective. He practices with his father, joins a local youth team, and as a teen plays professionally for Real Madrid until homesickness leads him back to Brazil to join Santos FC's team. Hoppe's illustrations reflect the story's fast pace and Neymar's loving family life. Glos.
