After watching the World Cup on television, a group of Thai boys is inspired to form their own team. But on the island of Koh Panyee, in a village built on stilts, there is no open space. The boys can play only twice a month on a sandbar when the tide is low enough. Everything changes when the teens join together to built their very own floating soccer field.



The inspiring true story by debut author Scott Riley is gorgeously illustrated by Nguyen Quang and Kim Lien. Perfect for fans of stories about sports, beating seemingly impossible odds, and places and cultures not often shown in picture books. Now in Spanish!



Author’s note with map and photographs. Note from Prasit. Thai words and pronunciation notes. Bibliography. Suggestions for further reading. Full-color illustrations were created with fineliner pen and Photoshop.
