I thought this book was excellent so I rated it a five it had alot of emotion. But I just wanted to point out that the horse on the front cover, well he looks okay. 'TILL YA READ THE BOOK!!! The boy was riding Patch! now I don't know about you but I always thought Patch was supposed to be black and white but on this cover he is bay! I think who ever made this cover should have known this I mean if his name was Sam or somthing like that okay but Patch is kinda self explanatory. THE END

I think it's even better than Goal because it shows what life is really like. It goes through the emotions of Santiago meeting his mother. When Santiago scores, you can almost feel and picture it. It also shows how frustrating an injury can be. I read it all in two nights. Marks out of 10: 10.

When I first picked up a Glory Garden's book- this one I was wondering wether or not it was going to be as bad as most of them. However I really enjoyed it and found several more titles in my nearby bookshop. I soon found reasons to go and discovered more delights in the books. Bob is a wonder! This book is probably his best!
