Soccer and Friends March 2, 2002

A review By Kayla
Barry, a high school student, struggles between friends and playing soccer. Sturbridge is where he lives and their soccer team has a chance at winning league this year. His best friend Joey, one of the best soccer players on the team, has trouble-staying friends because of their soccer playing. Joey is a ball hog and doesn't pass. Joey thinks that Barry (Bones) and the team aren't playing there hardest. Joey and Bones also have trouble with girls because they both like the same girl and they both get with her. Bones has to deal with pressure from his mom, the soccer team, and Joey.This story is real easy to read. The words aren't hard and the book just flows through the story. The soccer screens are great. They really tell you what is happening and you can picture it in your head. It talks about stuff that real teens would do like have a party the weekend your parents go away and the jealousy between friends. It shows a great struggle between two friends that are trying to stay great friends. It even shows them getting so mad at each other that they start fighting. It shows problems in the soccer team, some wanting it really bad and others out there just to play. The parts I didn't like is after some chapters it had some inside opinions, poem like things, I didn't get them or like them. They confused me. I didn't know who wrote them and why there were writing them. I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend this book to whoever liked soccer and enjoyed reading great soccer screens. Also to people who liked reading about friends and their friendship, it has a good story between Joey and Bones. Shots on Goal is a fun and easy book to read.
A journey through adolecence and sports May 22, 2001
I thought this book was a good sports book but it wasn't spectacular. The characters are interesting and I enjoyed reading it. In this book Dusty; the main character, and his friend Joey are the backbone of the first strong soccer team their school has ever known. However after Joey starts going out with the girl that Dusty was after they become angry and start losing soccer games. I thought this was an interesting book and it talked about good issues like relationships and friendships.
 Shots on Goal March 20, 2001
Shots on Goal is a book suitible for teens in my opinion. It's about the life of a boy named Barry who's nickname is Boney. I think Shots on Goal is a good book because it's really discriptive and has intresting outcomes. Boney is on his way to achieving his goal of helping his soccer team win the league championship. Boney has a brother named Tommy and two parents. Boney is 12 years old. An exciting part is when Boney throws a big party because he was jealous of Joey,his best friend, got a girl that he really liked, her name was Sharon. My favorite part is when Boney played a trick on Joey to get him out of the party.

I think the book Shots On Goal was very good. The plot was entertaining. It deals with everyday situations like friends,drinking,andlove for the game of soccer. One character is named Joey and he is best friends with the main character. They're always there for each other until they get in a fight. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes soccer.

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I think that "Shots on Goal" was an excellent book. It was great for anyone at the high school level. You don't even have to have to like soccer. he sees perfectly into the sife of most high schoolers dealing with issues such as drugs, girls, and friendship. Overall I would give the book a rating of ten on a scale of one to ten. I think that Rich Wallace should keep on writing.
