Gr 5 Up-This book is bound to stir a debate; there are only so many pages and so many players deserving to be called stars. Out of the 28 players profiled, 10 are from the United States, five are German, four are French, and only one is Brazilian (which is odd considering the widespread popularity of the sport there). There isn't any justification for how the roster has been compiled, so readers are left to wonder why some stars were chosen and some were left off. Each player has a spread with bright, vivid, action-filled photographs. There is some biographical information provided: height, birthdate, birth place, current team, number of international games won, and goals scored. Though there is no index, the table of contents sorts the players alphabetically by their last names, so it's easy to find them. VERDICT Though an appealing introduction, real fans will be looking for more detailed information, making this a secondary purchase. Debbie Tanner, S.D. Spady Montessori Elementary, Delray Beach, FL
