When Seth Burkett travelled to Brazil for a youth tournament with
his local team Stamford, he was stunned by what happened next.
Spotted by a scout, he accepted an offer to join Sorriso Esporte
Clube in the central state of Mato Grosso and became a media
celebrity as well as the only English professional in the
football-crazy country. THE BOY IN BRAZIL is a charming and
insightful account of his magical season in the sun as an
18-year-old in Sorriso - Portuguese for smile - and takes a
bittersweet look at the beautiful game and cultural concerns of the
vibrant nation which would host the 2014 World Cup finals. On his
journey from boy to man, he would discover an uncanny and
unexpected family link to the foundation of the sport in Brazil. He
would also come to see, through a tragedy in Sorriso and the sad
fate of its football club, that a childhood dream joyously
fulfilled also had a dark side. SHORTLISTED: Best football book,
