Wonder Goal!

32 pp. | Farrar | April, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-374-38500-9 $$16.00
(2) K-3 An unnamed boy, teased by his fellow soccer players because he's new to the team, dreams of scoring a game-winning goal; the story skips ahead in time to show him actually scoring that goal in a World Cup final. Though the structure is clever, the flash-forward is a bit jarring. Nevertheless, kids will appreciate the watercolor art, which emphasizes dramatic sports action.
