Reviews
"This exciting book chronicles the people, matches and world events that have shaped the South American men's Brazilian soccer team known as Flamengo. Flamengo, started in 1912, is still active today. Its players and fans are known for their loyalty and zest for the game of soccer. The book highlights famous players such as Zico, who played for both the Brazilian national team and Flamengo. Bright pictures, photographs, charts and graphs add great detail to this nonfiction text. A timeline of memorable Flamengo matches (such as the 1995 Flamengo vs. Fluminense game) is located in the back of the book, along a list of famous "footballers." Addresses for websites readers can use to learn more and an index to help readers quickly get reference material needed for book reports and projects. Flamengo is a must-read for young soccer players and fans ages nine to fourteen." –Children's Literature, September 2021
