From Booklist:
Gr. 4-7. This full-color, action-intensive book shares both general information and specific insider tips. Within such topical sections as "Preparing to Play" and "Goal Keeping" are one-to-three paragraph explanations of guidelines about everything from the right equipment to fine-tuning physical maneuvers for successful play. Vibrant, full-page, on-the-field photographs and inspirational quotes from some soccer stars such as Brandi Chastain and Fabien Barthez will make this especially attractive to browsers. Other photos featuring middle-school-age soccer players, identified at the front of the book as "The Winning Way" Team, demonstrate the moves and strategies Mackin describes. This colorful, accessible book is sure to attract soccer enthusiasts and likely to draw new fans curious about learning the fundamentals of the sport. An index and back matter would have been valuable additions. Roger Leslie
