Neymar The Wizard by Michael Part is probably one of the most thrilling and exciting books I've read about the story of Neymar Junior, the soccer star from Mogi Das Cruzes in Brazil. This book is an emotional story about a father and son who became national superstars through hard work and practice. I thought that the writing was very descriptive and I could understand what was going on in this book. This book inspires me to play harder and to never give up, just like Neymar did. This is the reason that I always try hard at practice every time, because of Neymar, the wizard. I would recommend this book to people who like soccer.

This book was a great book. I loved the book because Neymar Jr is my favorite soccer player.I think the book really got you hooked with the first few words. The book isn't just about his soccer career its about his life and the struggles he went through to get to were he is right now in present day making millions of dollars.

The book Neymar The Wizard is suspenseful story on how he grows up. One thing that stood out to me was when he was a baby he could have died because his parents car almost flew off a cliff but got stuck on the edge and they were all alive . I think that neymar is a very good player but also very good educational .When neymar got signed to Santos F.C He got schooling but also got a very good soccer Career because of it. When neymar was young he could have been signed to Real Madrid but chose not to and staid at Brazil with Santos F.C. I think that this book was stunning could be one of the best books that any person could read.

شنبه 3 آذر 98، ساعت 5 عصر، روی مبل همیشگیِ کنار میز، در انتظار تعمیرکار و وصل شدن اینترنت و انجام شدن کارها، وقتی دارم چایی و شیرینی سوغات یزد رو میخورم

کتاب، در مقایسه با کتابی که همین نویسنده در مورد مسی نوشته کتاب معمولی تری بود اما در مجموع از خوندنش لذت بردم

Have you ever wondered how professional soccer players get so good? Well if you do, then you better read this book! Neymar is a young soccer player with tan skin and brown hair. He also has brown eyes and a comma shaped scar above his eyebrow. He got the scar from a car accident he was in when he was very little. He was kind, and loving, but most of all, he was skilled at soccer. He had great passion for soccer and would play street soccer with his friends and neighbors for fun. His father played professional soccer when Neymar was a kid. Neymar was at one of his dad’s games not knowing that the scouter for the Sao Paulo development team was watching a copy all of his dad’s moves in the stands. Neymar had great passion for the sport. He even invented his own soccer game called house ball (which was technically just soccer in his house with goals that were doorways)! Neymar had proved that he wanted to be a great soccer player. His father saw this and hoped he could fulfill his dream. Neymar’s father is Neymar Sr. and is a kind younger man who plays Ametuer soccer because of a permenant injury. Neymar Sr. has dark skin and hair and looks a lot like Neymar. One day, Neymar was at one of his dad’s games and was playing soccer in the stands. He was copying his father’s every move and skill that his father was doing on the field. One of the scouters for the Sao Paulo development team was at this game and saw Neymar’s talent and control on the ball. He walked up to Neymar after the game and asked Neymar if he wanted to play for his team. Neymar of course said yes! Neymar was a great addition to this team. He was better at soccer than all of his teammates on the Sao Paulo team, without a doubt. It was also obvious to the scouter for the Santos development team. Santos is the best Brazilian club in Brazil! This would be a big offer for Neymar! Neymar was excepted on the U10 club team. The U in U10 stands for under and the 10 stand for the age 10. He was excited but also nervous. He knew that playing pro soccer had been a dream of his and this would be one step closer to going pro. After the coach of the U10 Santos team saw how good he was in one season, he decided to move him up to U13. He was a great fit for this team and helped them do well in tournaments including one tournament they got second place in. Neymar had lots of success as a kid. He got a offer to come to Madrid and tryout for Real Madrid! Neymar Sr. was very excited for his son to try out for one of the best clubs in the world! Neymar didn’t seem like he wanted to go onto the Real Madrid. He told his dad this and his father didn’t understand. He said just try out and see if you want to play for them. Neymar agreed and tried out. He ended up making the team and they would give him minimal salary and he wouldn’t start in the games. So Neymar declined and he also was asked to try out for Barcelona. He made the team and decided to join Barcelona and would end up having star teammates like Messi, Sanchez, and Mascherano! He was happy to be playing on this team!


I recommend this book to people who want to learn about how soccer players got to be so good. This is a great book for people to learn from because Neymar is a great example of not looking for the spotlight all the time and keeping a low ego.


I like this book because it shows good ways to learn how to keep control of your ego and to always be nice. It also shows we're all a blessing in other people’s lives and in God’s eyes. Neymar is also Christian so this is an appropriate book for anyone who can read chapter books. I would rate this book 10 out of 10 stars. I rated it this because it also kept me interested and was the right length so that it didn’t go on forever. I definitely liked this book!
