Diary of a Soccer Star: 1 - Softcover

Marcus is a math whiz who is not good at sport. His dad is a self-help author who thinks Marcus can achieve anything he sets his mind to... with hilarious results.

In illustrated diary format, this humorous novel is something of a cross between Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Jeff Kinney) and Too Cool (Phil Kettle & Craig Smith). Marcus’s gentle, satiric humour and comic drawings will have readers laughing out loud while learning a surprising amount about soccer... This book is a quick, fun read, and perfect for the younger end of the Wimpy Kid audience.
