I would 100 percent recommending this book because the book is about football, for me its interesting and especially because its in Brazil and I'm Brazilian.

This book is outstanding. This book is about Brazilian talent and a special skill called A Magica the speciality of Brazilian football. The most tense ending of the book is a teachers vs students match. Coming into the game, the students have not won any matches. But, can Jamie Johnson who is the captain and Rafael da Silva who is the master of the tactics. And Mr Pratley only says one nice thing to Jamie Johnson. But is it going to console him or congratulate him. I would recommend this book to everyone around the world because if you want to become a professional footballer when you grow up, you can do those naughty skills. I hope you have fun reading this book. Written by Dan Freedman

He makes friends with a boy called Rafael who has lost his mother. He stutters when he talks to everyone including his dad apart from Jamie. Rafael and Jamie go brazil just before the match between the students and teachers where he learns the skill a magica. Would Jamie's football and Rafael's football knowledge be able to beat the undefeated teachers?

I loved this book and it was very football like. It also showed you what Brazil was really like and it had lots of facts about Brazilian football but it was also a very good story.
