Paulo and the Football Thieves: Peek Inside the Pop-Up Windows!

by Dereen Taylor

Paulo Costa is ten years old, and he lives and breathes football. His Uncle Marcos is the star striker for the Eagles, one of Brazil's top teams, and Paulo wants to follow in his golden footsteps. Paulo's ultimate goal is to succeed at the trials for the Eagles' junior team, and he is determined to give it his best shot. His best friend Juanita wishes him luck. Peer through the packed streets as a carnival comes to town. See Paulo dash off, boots flying, when the Costa family's car breaks down, and he ends up running late for the junior try-outs. Follow him down a gloomy side street, where he notices something suspicious going on, something decidedly unsporting, something that could prove disastrous for the Eagles' forthcoming match... Young readers will be enthralled by this gripping adventure, and the detailed pop-up illustrations will take them right into the heart of the game.
