"Uplifting and inspiring, this beautifully written and illustrated book reminds us of the joys and saving grace of friendship and sport." -- Archbishop Desmond Tutu


In a dusty township in South Africa, Ajani and his friends have earned a brand-new, federationsize soccer ball. They kick. They dribble. They run. They score. These clever boys are football champions! But when a crew of bullies tries to steal their ball, will Ajani and his friends be able to beat them at their own game?
