Cycling across Tibet, Nybrandt learned about the heartbreaking treatment the Tibetan people received at the hands of the Chinese Government, but also their love of soccer. He envisioned a Tibetan national football team to create awareness of their plight and showcase their unique culture – without reference to politics. This is the story of how the team came to be.
A colourful book that shows that anyone can have a dream and if they work hard enough and push past the challenges, the dream can come true.
The story is hopeful and well paced. Not once did I feel lost or frustrated with the story. Rather it drew me in. If I didn't have to grab my tea, I wouldn't have. It was that pulling. I loved that it didn't drag on. Nybrandt could have, but he made the story quick and didn't drag on.
If I had one qualm, it was sometimes the art felt a little off. Faces would have minor changes or would look off compared to previous pages.
Amazing book! Love it as a normal person with dreams and enjoy it as a soccer fan myself. Beautiful message and at a just right speed for reading this action-packed adventure. LOL
