Editorial Reviews

"Kew touches on many issues in this story without being heavy-handed…Kew's descriptions of the soccer matches are wonderful, and readers will feel involved in the match as though they were right there…Overall, Trading Goals is a great book for children in this age group whether they are soccer fans or not.
Highly Recommended."
