I liked how Morris Gleitzmen captures you into this fantastic story and I also like the theme of the refugees and I like the start with the theme of soccer. This is why I rated this book 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars this one is PERFECT! I'd love to see it read in all ...

Read it with my 8 year old daughter and we couldn't put it down! Finished in two evenings! If you have a child who likes football and should know more about refugee experiences and/or Afghanistan, this one is PERFECT! I'd love to see it read in all our schools - what a different world we would live in. Written from the child's perspective with all the comical misunderstandings, excitement, hope and terror that would entail, this book is a fantastic dramatic story and a very effective education in one. Cannot recommend highly enough - we ordered this because we thought the author's Once was fantastic - I am browsing for more of Morris Gleitzman's books right now.
