Meet Alexandre Lacazette - Ultimate Football Hero Alexandre
Lacazette has shown just what hard work and perseverance can do. He
might not be the flashiest player on the pitch, but he's a firm
favourite with the fans for his goals, as well as his strike
partnership with Aubameyang that helped Arsenal reach the Europa
League final in 2019. The superstar striker grew up in Lyon but
he's now one of the most important players in the Arsenal squad.
Ultimate Football Heroes is a series of biographies telling the
life stories of the biggest and best footballers in the world and
their incredible journeys from childhood fan to superstar
professional player. Written in fast-paced, action-packed style
these books are perfect for all the family to collect and share.
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.
Celebrated picture book biographer Jeanette Winter shares the story
of champion tennis players-and sisters-Venus and Serena Williams.
Before they were famous tennis stars, Venus and Serena Williams
were sisters with big dreams growing up in Compton, California. In
the early mornings, they head to the tennis courts, clean up
debris, and practice. They compete in their first tournament and
they both win. From there, the girls' trophy collection grows and
grows. Despite adversity and health challenges, the sisters become
two of the greatest tennis players of all time. This inspiring
story of sisterhood, hard work, and determination is perfect for
budding athletes or any young reader with a big dream.
The Football Encyclopedia has a brand-new look to tie in with the
2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar, which promises to be the biggest
football tournament in history. What's more, it includes a pullout
results wallchart to fill in as the World Cup progresses. With a
fresh, contemporary design and all-new photographs throughout, the
book now features expanded material on women's football, one of the
world's fastest-growing sports. It's packed with pictures and
profiles of the world's most skilful players - old and new - from
Alexia Putellas to Mohamed Salah, Kylian Mbappe to Cristiano
Ronaldo, and Harry Kane to Lucy Bronze. Over 50 of the best sides
to have lit up the game are covered in detail, including Liverpool,
Manchester City, England, the U.S women's team, Brazil, Bayern
Munich and Real Madrid. Football fans will get the key information
about the top tournaments and leagues around the world, including
the English Premier League, the National Women's Soccer League, and
much more. All the drama of the "beautiful game" is fully analyzed
with dynamic full-spread photos and artworks that recreate famous
moves and goals, and there is in-depth coverage of every aspect of
football, including rules and skills; fans and the media; managers
and tactics. Packed with the latest statistics and fully updated
for this new edition, this is a superbly detailed reference book
for all the family.
DIY Survival Manual: Natural Disasters has the answers to help you
prepare for, survive and endure any major natural disaster. Packed
with easy to read step-by-step instructions, top tips and real-life
survivor accounts. Myth-busting boxes explain the science behind
the disasters and common misconceptions held. Discover how each
natural disaster is formed and how to always be prepared for every
likely scenario. Can you stay calm in the midst of an avalanche? Do
you know what to do when a tornado warning sounds? How can you
identify different types of wildfire? Take the tests and
on-the-spot quizzes to find out whether you are a true survivor.
As timely as it is timeless, this instructive book has captured the interest and imagination of boys for well over a century. Chapters on kite flying and fishing, rigging and sailing small boats, camping out without a tent, knot-tying for mountain climbing and other activities, as well as training dogs, raising wild birds, and other projects will appeal as much to today's youngsters as they did to children in the late 1800s. (Many of these enterprises have also been known to compete effectively with TV and video games.) Best of all, the projects have the power to inspire the imagination and help youngsters master new skills and experience the satisfaction of personal accomplishment. Unabridged republication of the edition originally published by Scribner, New York, 1890.
Josh Sundquist had only ever had one girlfriend. For 23 hours. In
eighth grade. Why was Josh still single? To find out, he tracked
down the girls he had tried to date and asked them straight up:
What went wrong? We Should Hang Out Sometime is the the result of
Josh's semi-scientific, wholly hilarious investigation. From a
disastrous putt-putt date involving a backwards prosthetic foot to
his introduction to CFD (Close Fast Dancing) to a misguided "grand
gesture" at a Miss America pageant, this story is about looking for
love-or at least a girlfriend-in all the wrong places. We Should
Hang Out Sometime is for every person who has ever wondered, "is
there something wrong with me?" (the answer, by the way, is "no").
By revisiting middle school, high school, and college experiences,
inspirational speaker Josh Sundquist shares what it was like to
grow up as "the guy with one leg." Interspersed with the author's
black-and-white line art, this real life story will appeal to fans
of The Fault In Our Stars and Ned Vizzini's Teen Angst.

In a read-aloud perfect for conversations about team stewardship
and growth mindset, a boy overshadowed by a family of skilled
hockey players finds an innovative way to shine. In Jackson Moore's
small town, his family is known for producing hockey heroes-but he
worries that he'll never measure up to their amazing skills. On the
ice he feels like a potato on skates, and his teammates begin to
wonder if he really is a Moore. Then, when a shortage of equipment
puts his team at risk of losing their spot in the Winterfest
Tournament, Jackson makes a game plan of his own and realizes that
his problem-solving and stewardship abilities are hallmarks of a
true MVP. Just like Jackson, award-winning author Kari-Lynn Winters
grew up playing in the shadow of a big hockey family. In On the
Line she demonstrates with heart and humor how scoring goals is not
the only path to team heroism. An author's note furthers the
conversation about sportsmanship, teamwork, and building supportive
communities. Lively art by award-winning illustrator Scot Ritchie
perfectly captures the action on and off the ice as Jackson learns
to celebrate the skills he has-and to enjoy the game in spite of
the ones he doesn't.
