Pele

The book I read for this trimester was an autobiography about the greatest soccer player of all time. The book was written by James Buckley.James Buckley was born January 25, 1963 in Washington DC. The book is called Pele. This book was published in 2007. James Buckley is known for his amazing sports book for kids.

In the book Pele, Pele was born October 23, 1940 to a poor soccer loving family. As a child Pele would skip school, miss helping his mom do little jobs and Pele formed a neighborhood soccer team just to play soccer. PELE father was also a soccer player in fact he played in a professional soccer team called Santos, but had a career ending injury. One faithful day pele was playing one his neighbors hood soccer games, then was notice by the owner and offer his dad a contact and by the way he is only 9. It takes place from a dusty soccer field in Brazil to half way across the world wedding chapel Switzerland.

In this book it shows how the best soccer player to ever roam this earth that had nothing but the love of soccer. This book can inspire people who don't even play a sport, that they can have nothing but still can be something. So I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling in one area of their lives that they can succeed.
