Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love “Kicking Goals: Cup Countdown” by Sam Kerr… Here is what the QBD crew thought:
Loosely based on the remarkable life experiences of Matila’s superstar Sam Kerr, “Cup Countdown” – the fifth book in her “Kicking Goals” series – is HERE!
This time, the 2006 World Cup is just around the corner and thirteen-year-old Sam is pumped! Even though the games are being played on the other side of the world, Sam and her best friend, Dylan, are planning to get up early to watch the games live on TV. They couldn’t be more excited… until Sam is invited to trial for a rep soccer team and makes it!! As she juggles training in her schedule, she starts to question if she is ready for the big time… Will watching the World Cup convince her that she wants to play in the rep team, or will school, training and games all become too much for a young girl who has just started high school?
With the FIFA Women’s World Cup just around the corner, now is the PERFECT time to dive into Sam’s incredible series. With plenty of action, on and off the field, this fantastic read will have you cheering for more! We highly recommend.
