Arcady's Goal by Eugene Yelchin

3.0

Arcady loves soccer more than anything. Growing up in a home for children whose parents have been declared enemies of the people, it is all he has. When he is adopted, he convinces himself that his new father is actually a soccer coach in disguise. Try as he might to be the coach that Arcady needs, Ivan Ivanyvich knows little about soccer, but much about what it takes to be a family. An emotional story of two people who need each other, and soccer. Grades 4-6.
