Reviews

"…an excellent and outstanding biography…"

Eastern Washington Book Review Council

"…a good read for young students who enjoy or are being introduced to biographies. Reluctant readers may also find it appealing because the large text is easy to read and short…It should also appeal to soccer lovers and Messi fans as well."

Highlands Regional Library Cooperative, January 4, 2014

"Interesting and easy-to-read, young soccer fans will enjoy learning about the best soccer player in the world, including his success on and off the field."

Garland Independent School District, October 29, 2013

"...reluctant readers will appreciate the accessible writing style and sports photographs."

The Horn Book Guide, Spring 2014

"The books are nicely balanced with cogent texts and a plethora of action-packed, full-color photographs. Messi is a must-have, as there is very little available for children on the world's most-popular soccer player . . . In a world in which sports stars are not always good role models, these books show that some of them are making a difference outside the sports arena."
