Gr 2–5—A biographical overview of three internationally recognized soccer stars: Lionel Messi, Neymar da Silva Santos, and Luis Suárez, collectively known as MSN or the Barcelona Trio. The content mainly focuses on their 2015–16 season but does cover each player's early life, introduction to soccer, and road to fame. Quick but detailed descriptions are given of the highs and lows of the athletes' careers, from Messi's instant stardom to Suárez's controversial incidents to Neymar's ever-changing hairstyle. Fellow teammates and coaches are also discussed along with the players' home countries of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. Charts highlight their heights, the number of goals they scored, and more.
VERDICT Consider this slim but informative volume wherever soccer fans are found.
