Pele written by James Buckley Jr. is a great biography, about a poor kid in Brazil who loved to play soccer, and becomes the most famous soccer player ever. Pele faces many hardships along the way to be the greatest soccer player ever. This is a good book for people 10-18, and for people who love soccer. I give this book five stars. The story of a poor boy who becomes a star is very good. I loved this book and I am sure other people who don't care much for soccer would love it too.
Well-written book for kids with many pictures. I would recommend this book for kids in 5th-6th grade. It's a little long, but it is very comprehensive. My son used it for his "wax museum" project at school.
My 10 year old adopted son is half Brazilian and loves to play soccer. We enjoyed reading this very inspirational book together. He wanted to know why I was teary when we read the part about the last game Pele' played. The book brings out what an incredibly talented, persevering, and humble man he is--a great role model for kids. 5 star!
I bought this for my son because he had to do a report on a biography. This book must be excellent because I didn't have to coax him at all when it was time to read it. In fact he enjoyed it so much he wanted to read a passage to me. I'm looking forward to reading it when he is finished so we can discuss it. I think it's a great book for a child who likes soccer.
My 11 year old son really enjoyed this book! He is a soccer player and this book made him understand how hard some athletes have it, both before and after they are discovered. Good story and lessons from a real life hero.
This is a good book for a 4th/5th grader. Lots of information in an easy to read format. We purchased this book for an autobiography book report my son had to do and he really enjoyed all the facts in the book and it was an easy read.
