About The Wild Soccer Bunch, Book 1, Kevin The Star
Product Description When the last of the snow has finally melted, soccer season starts! Kevin the Star Striker and The Wild Bunch rush to their field. They have found that Mickey the bulldozer and his gang, the Unbeatables, have taken over. Kevin and his friends challenge the Unbeatables to the biggest game of their lives. Can the Wild Bunch defeat the Unbeatables, or lose their field of dreams forever? Can they do what no team has done before? Review Exciting! With more energy than a party of second graders hyped up on birthday cake, the characters on the Wild Bunch soccer team get themselves in and out of trouble, chapter after chapter for an exciting ride to the last page. The kids are totally relateable, and totally serious about their soccer. Their passion is wonderful to watch, and things get even better when their parents try to control them. There's no controlling this Wild Bunch, and while the kids do things that would make any parent flinch, these are just good kids caught in the grip of their uncontrollable passion for soccer. Kevin, the star striker, leads off the series by challenging the best soccer team in their area to a match. Afterwords, the team wonders how they can beat the Unbeatables when they don't even have a coach. Enough said about the plot, just know that it's a page-turner. This is the kind of book that gets kids reading and begging their parents for the next book in the 13 book series. In the world of books for young people, it's nice to run across a series where no one turns into a hideous creature or fights evil chapter after chapter. Just clean-cut wholesome fun, with important lessons on teamwork and supporting your friends thrown in for good measure. Written by Joachim Masanneck, this series is a winner. The illustrations by Jan Birck, bring the characters to life, showing the humorous situations the characters get themselves into. All around wonderful book. --Amazon.com This is a real gem! I gave this book to my niece who is a soccer player and it changed her life! When she discovered that a girl can be a soccer star on a boy's team, it was so empowering for her! Now she is a real go getter on her own team. This book is about camaraderie, team work, team spirit, friendship and winning! All great things that kids should know and understand. We can't wait for the next in the series - this is a real gem! --Amazon.com This is the start of a great series that every young soccer fan is going to go wild over! UAAAHH! UAAAHH! Spring had sprung (well, almost) and all the guys were raring to go. Wilson Street, a slushy street on the north side of Chicago, was home to The Wild Bunch. Kevin, the ball-hog, and his pals were raring to get outside and play soccer. Kevin, Danny, Tyler (his bro), Alex, Julian, Roger, Diego, and Joey began to pummel their walls shooting at imaginary goals. BAM! The excitement began to mount until things began to break and they got grounded. Everyone that is except for Roger who was watching in helpless disbelief as the giggling daughters of his mother's friends put curlers in his red hair. It was no great loss because he was a lousy player anyway. When Alex The Cannon put a ball through the only surviving window in the house, out the door and SMACK dab into his Dad's head they all knew they were going to be g-r-o-u-n-d-e-d. And they all were (except Roger). BAM! BAM! BUMMER! Every self-respecting nine-year-old had enough brains to figure out how to get around rules and escape the clutches of their parents and before you know it they were headed for the soccer field. Unfortunately, Mickey the Bulldozer, the kind of guy who attracts other jerks just like himself, was just coming onto the field with the Unbeatables. Mickey may have been the Darth Vader of our world, according to Kevin, but when Danny called him a moron there was trouble in Chicago. BIG trouble! It was challenge time. The Wild Bunch was looking smack dab into the faces of trouble. Mickey, Humungous Henry,
