Menariknya, Mitch Johnson sepertinya tahu banyak dengan seluk beluk Jakarta. Aku tidak tahu apakah beliau ini pernah ke ibukota Negara. Atau memang pernah menetap hitungan tahun. Walaupun tidak sepenuhnya pas menggambarkan kehidupan ibukota. Tapi untuk debut perdana yang berhasil kurampungkan, novel ini menarik. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments The book was chosen during the time that the Euro2020 competition was occurring, meaning the children's excitement for the book was heightened due to its link to football.

The read focuses on showcasing the life of Budi who works in a football show factory and dreams of playing football professionally professionally. However, Budi lives within poverty, and him and his family and friends face hardships throughout which highlight the differing lives of Budi and the football players he adores.

This book would make an excellent discussion topic for classes, looking at children in other cultures, poverty, exploitation, and even natural disasters. The link to football as a way out of poverty, both literally and in helping someone to dream themselves to a better place, is well-used in Budi, who knows how hard life can be. Overall, this was an enjoyable book with merit and once again, thank you to my wonderful librarian for sending me this book. If Mitch Johnson was to publish an adult novel in future, I would buy it! I am 100% sure he has the talent to channel all his great ideas into a more sophisticated genre. But the bottom line is: good, solid book and all the best to the debut novelist! I loved reading about Budi and Johnson creates his world brilliantly- you truly come to inhabit his life, feel his hopes and anxieties and care for him and his family. You want good things for Budi!Budi escapes his harsh reality by playing football with his best friends and dreaming of one day playing for Real Madrid alongside the mighty Kieran Wakefield.

Having defied her parents (especially her mother), and married Billy Hartington, the “heir to Chatsworth”, this unfortunate Bostonian was first widowed, then snagged by a philandering Irishman (“king dandy and scum”, according to Waugh), dying with him in a senseless plane crash (shades of John Kennedy Jr). End of story.

This middle-grade story is about a boy in Indonesian working in a sweatshop factory producing sports trainers. He is football-mad and follows the Spanish League.

Brilliant book for the ages of 10-13 years old. It's about a boy called Budi who loves football and who dreams of becoming a football star. Fantastic book and great ways to hook a reader because I am loving it! Defo worth a read Budi is like any young boy - he plays football with his friends whenever he can, watches matches, dreams about going to the matches of his favourite teams. But Budi is also a boy who makes football boots. He works in a Jakartan sweatshop, working long hours and for little pay.Sesuai labelnya, novel ini memang bagus untuk usia 13+. Bicara tentang mimpi, perjuangan hidup, dan bagaimana pantang menyerah. Ini bagus sekali tentunya untuk anak usia segitu. Dimana mereka baru saja memulai hidupnya dan mulai mengalami masalah.
