Product Description
The exciting world of professional soccer comes to life in this compelling sequel to GOAL! The Dream Begins. Young soccer player Santiago Munez has come a long way from the barrios of Los Angeles. He has become one of Newcastle United?s most outstanding players. He is so good, in fact, that he is recruited for one of the world?s best teams, Real Madrid. So Santiago leaves dreary northern England for the sunny shores of Spain. As part of Real Madrid, he is no longer just a soccer player--he?s also a celebrity. He can now afford fast cars, a fancy house, and practically anything else he?s ever dreamed of. But these luxuries come with a price: He is constantly swarmed by paparazzi. And while Santiago travels the world with the team, his fiancee, Roz, is left behind most of the time, uneasy about his fast-paced new lifestyle. Santiago struggles to keep his balance, but when someone from his past unexpectedly resurfaces in Madrid, his charmed life begins to crumble. Will Santiago be able to keep playing great soccer while dealing with the pressures--and temptations--of fame?

  I bought this book for my son. October 25, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
My thirteen year-old son has been playing soccer since he was apprxoimately 5 years old. He loved the Goal I movie and I am always looking for ways to encourage more reading.
When I told him that I ordered the Goal II book, he started checking the mail each day to see if it arrive. While I have not read the book yet, Goal II had a magnetic effect on my son; he couldn't put the book down and he finished reading it in less than two days. Based on his reaction alone, I would suggest any soccer lover buy this book!
