I almost feel like I am Jamie Johnson now. Jude Bellingham Jamie switched on the soccer computer in his mind. It was programmed to play...set to score. Jamie Johnson had it all: a happy family, great buddies and a beautiful home. But that was back in the States, back before his whole life was turned upside down. Now he's living in England with nothing - apart from a secret dream to one day become a soccer legend.... He's got amazing talent and the desire to make it to the top. He's not perfect, but then none of us are. Introducing The Jamie Johnson Series! The #1 best-selling children's soccer novels in the UK are finally coming to America, beginning with the first instalment of the series, Born to Play. Dan Freedman's widely-popular series has received high praise from some of the world's most widely-recognized soccer stars: You'll read this and want to get out there and play.
- Steven Gerrard
It is a wonderful book series. Yes you will learn about soccer, but more importantly you're going to learn about life lessons that you'll have to go through during your adolescent and teenage years.
- Brad Friedel
An inspiring read for all soccer fans.
- Gary Lineker
I love reading about soccer and it doesn't get much better than this.
- Joe Hart Dan Freedman is a former top soccer journalist who has interviewed the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and David Beckham. He uses his passion and knowledge of the game to write the Jamie Johnson stories. When he is not writing Dan delivers talks and workshops for schools (and still plays soccer whenever he can).
