Over christmas break, my aunt and uncle got me, among other things, a book. It's called Keeper, by Mal Peet. The title represents a soccer goalkeeper and his story. It's setting is in South America where a veteran soccer reporter interviews El Gato, who is the World-Cup-winning goalkeeper. He recounts his life story and how it begins in a poor  town in a mythic corner of a jungle.

My Uncle and Aunt read some reviews on this book and one stuck out, it was a teenage kid, around my age, who said he didn't like reading at all and how he has trouble getting into books unless he is forced to. But however he did get really into this book and loved to read it. There were tons of replies to this comment and people really connected to this book and liked it a lot. Im super excited to read this because it is about soccer and that is my life outside of friends, family, and school.
