A Rocking Star by Kaitlyn Nielson

This book was definiteley what I wanted to read. It gave me all the information I needed to understand the book. It has good wording and doesn't use the same words over and over again. It is a spread out book. It is full of action and can teach you some tricks of your own. If you like soccer then you'll love this book. It will help to control your jealousy if you like to be the star but aren't . Terry is the star of this rocking book. I'd say he's a power-house kicker and a person that's learning to play a new position. He doesn't quite know how to control his jealousy in the beginning but he'll end up being smarter than before in that area. This book was awesome. Full of action and not disappointing.

Best soccer story ever

I don't really read a long book that's about 220 pages, but I can't believe I did this one so fast. Anyway this book is the bomb. The main character was Terry Masters who had to choose from football, one of the sports he is a star in, or soccer. Apperently he picked soccer. And so he had somebody that took the spotlite. I think you should really read it.

It is a great book.

I just read the book Soccer Duel and I think it is a great book. This book (Soccer duel) is about a kid that stars on the basketball, football, and baseball teams, but when he tries out for the soccer team he discovers that he will not be the star. When he tries to be the star he gets benched because he is not being a team player. Terry takes the place of Henrik (the star sweeper) when Henrik gets hurt and the team wins. I think this is a great book because it never has a part when the author interrupts the action. The book has a lot of action, for example, very close soccer games. There are flashbacks of football games, too. Overall I like the book because of the story. It is very exciting and enjoyable. There are a few parts that I feel could have been better. Sometimes I got confused because there wasn't enough information in certain parts especially in the middle. In other parts there was too much information which made me bored, but I finished the book and it's terrific. I loved the book and I hope you read this book.

It was a terrific book. I had a lot of fun reading it.

It was a story with a lot of conflict in it . It is a good book to get started off with. It is a great sports book.
