Budi’s plan is simple…
He’s going to be a star, instead of sweating over each football boot he makes, each stitch he sews, each box he packages. He’s going to play for the greatest team on earth, rather than in the square behind the factory where he works.
But one unlucky kick brings Budi’s world crashing down, because now he owes the Dragon, the most dangerous man in all Jakarta. Soon it isn’t only Budi’s dreams at stake, but his life.
A story about dreaming big, about hope and heroes, and never letting anything stand in your way…

Football fans would like this book as it has all the qualities of a good book and an exciting read.

I wouldn’t normally pick up a football book to read but I liked the look of this one. The cover shows a boy on a mountain of shoes. This book was actually really good. It also seems to have a deeper meaning, that life is very unfair. It touches on how footballers would earn as much in an hour as the main character would do in a whole year!

A good book and i enjoyed it very much but the end sort of spoiled it. This was disappointing but the rest of the book was great.
