Most people know who Pelé is, and how he is the greatest soccer player in history. However many do not know who Edson Arantes do Nascimento is and how he came to be Pelé. Pelé: Birth of a Legend gives us but a glimpse into the life and struggles that he had to overcome at a early age. Without giving you much of a spoiler into a the movie, let’s just say you might need a tissue paper or two. Besides learning who is the man behind the legend, I did learn a lot about soccer and the different type of soccer styles. Definitely a must see movie for anyone!
The Crossover by Kwame Alexander is a book popping up on a lot of different school summer reading lists. For some students, reading is the last thing they want to do when school is out. It can be hard to get your student to read when the nice weather is calling their name. We get it. However, if you’re given a choice on which books to read, this is a great one for students who don’t like to read.
This book is unlike any book I’ve read before. Written completely in verse, there are no more than 50 words on a page. So, just by looking at the pages it doesn’t seem all that bad. It’s a super quick read and the subject matter is very tangible and realistic.
We’re following a pair of twins who are obsessed with basketball, and sometimes girls. Sometimes things are great – you’re winning all your games and you’re getting A’s in all your classes. However, there’s always those times when you’re mom starts making weird dips trying to get you healthy, you’re fighting with a best friend, or your mind just isn’t in the game.
