In this heartwarming and candid memoir, US national soccer team
goalkeeper Tim Howard does something he would never do on a soccer
field: he drops his guard. Howard opens up for the first time about
how a hyperactive kid from New Jersey with Tourette Syndrome defied
the odds to become one of the world's premier goalkeepers. Howard
managed to keep his condition in check well enough to be drafted by
Major League Soccer right out of high school. After a successful
seventeen-year professional soccer career, Howard became an
overnight star during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. His heroic
performance in goal for the United States against Belgium, in which
he saved an astonishing fifteen shots-the most for any goalkeeper
in a World Cup game-made him a household name as well as a trending
internet meme. In the course of 120 minutes, Howard went from a
player known mainly by soccer fans to an American icon, loved by
millions for his dependability, daring, and humility. In this
uplifting memoir adapted for young readers, Howard shares his
remarkable journey from a challenging childhood in which he was
raised by a single mother who instilled in him a love of sports and
a devout Christian faith that helped him deal with the onset of
Tourette's in fifth grade. This book includes an 8-page full-color
photo insert and a poster on the other side of the book jacket.

vehicles and how to have fun on your bike safely. A simple series
of books, empowering younger children aged 5-7 to know how to look
after themselves in a variety of everyday situations. Includes tips
