Discover how a young boy born in Portugal with a passion for soccer worked hard to become one of the most famous athletes of all time in this exciting addition to the Who HQ Now series that features newsmakers and trending topics. When he was just twelve years old, Cristiano Ronaldo was recruited to play professional soccer for a team in Portugal, 600 miles from his home on the island of Madeira, a region of Portugal. For the next twenty-five years, Cristiano would prove to the world that he is one of the greatest to ever play the game. Author James Buckley Jr. takes readers through each exciting moment--from his first championship with Manchester United to each of his five Ballon D'or award-winning seasons. He has spent his career playing for teams in Portugal, England, Spain, and Italy. And he is the first player with league championships in England, Spain, and Italy. Outside the world of soccer, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most famous people in the world - a true international superstar. Look for more Who HQ titles: Who Is Pelé? What Is the World Cup?

A book my kid wants to read!
My 7 year old has been reluctant to read books in the past, but he loves this series of books. He is currently reading the book on Christiano Ronaldo and it is as good as the rest. My husband and I first found these books in a brick and mortar store about 10 years ago when he was a middle school history teacher. Many of his sixth and seventh grade students were reading at a third grade level and he needed something they would want to read. He bought several at the time and shared them with is students. The students LOVED them and started telling their friends about them. By the end of the year the reading scores had greatly improved. Fast forward a decade and we have our own child that isn't crazy about reading books. He saw the Michael Jordan book in a store and asked for it. He was so excited about it he started reading it in the car on the way home! He's just finished first grade and is 7 years old so these can be challenging for him, but they interest him enough to keep going. He loves sports so we've bought books on Pele, Tom Brady, and Lebron James. They are also a great value for the cost. He's now also starting to show interest in some of the books that aren't sports related. I would definitely recommend these for 2nd through 4th graders, and those in higher grades who need extra reading help.
