THE WORLD CUP TIME TRAVELERS
A Soccer Adventure That Teaches Kids the Rules, History, and Greatest Moments of the Gam
Four kids. One glowing golden soccer ball. And a world of football history is beginning to disappear.
When Theo, his fearless little sister Mia, and their soccer-crazy cousin Sam find a mysterious golden ball in the backyard shed, one touch sends them hurtling into the past. Their first stop is 1863, the year the rules of soccer were first written down. But something is wrong. A shadowy enemy called the Eraser is moving through time, trying to wipe the beautiful game out of history forever.To get home, the kids must protect the past before the future is lost.
From the first World Cup final to legendary moments with Pelé, from the invention of the red card to a nerve-racking penalty shootout, every chapter brings young readers into real soccer history and real soccer rules through a fast-moving time-travel adventure. Kids learn without feeling lectured, because the story never stops moving.
In this World Cup adventure, readers will discover how soccer rules work, why teamwork matters, what makes the World Cup so exciting, and how the game became a sport loved around the world.Perfect for ages 7-10, this short-chapter soccer book is ideal for newly independent and reluctant readers, as well as young fans who love action, adventure, and sports. It is also a timely pick as interest builds toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.If your child loves soccer, time travel, and page-turning adventures, this is the book they will want to kick off first.
