review:

'Stars of The World Cup' came out in plenty of time for this year's World Cup. I just stumbled onto it and decided to give it a quick read. Even though the World Cup is long over, it was fun to relive the player bios.



It's features 28 of the players that were prominent in this year's World Cup arranged in alphabetical order. All the major players are here from Messi and Clint Dempsey to Muller and Aguero. Each player gets a two page spread. One is an action photo, the other is a short bio along with a plus and minus score for the player. Pluses include things like 'natural goal scorer' or 'respected leader.' Minuses include things like age or aggression (or lack of aggression) on the field.



It's a bright quick read and perfect for sports minded young readers. As a very casual soccer fan, I enjoyed learning more about these players. My son confirmed that the facts were good and they picked the right players to be in the book.



I received a review copy of this ebook from Abbeville Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
