Eyes on the Goal

Eyes on the GoalJust in time for the World Cup, Eyes on the Goal is the latest installment in John Coy's 4 for 4 series. This is the story of four friends: Jackson, Gig, Isaac, and Diego.  Their adventures continue as they attend a week-long summer soccer camp.  Diego and Gig have a natural talent for the game, but Jackson and Isaac struggle to learn the rules and strategies.  Readers will find that sports, like life, can be unpredictable, frustrating, but also exciting and exhilarating at times.  Coy is on a mission to help boys enjoy reading, and become better readers.  This series is part of that mission, and this story is very well written.  Give it to a 9-12 year old soccer player while the Cup is in progress.
