About the Book
Today, Lionel "Leo" Messi is almost certainly the greatest soccer player in the world. But his dreams were nearly destroyed by a rare childhood medical problem that wouldn't let him grow. How did that little boy, who came from a working-class family in Argentina, defy such frightening odds? How did he become the biggest star in soccer? What sort of discipline did he need for a career in the most popular sport in the world? Retrace the life of Lionel Messi to find the answers to these questions and learn how he is helping to improve the lives of many children who face illness and poverty.
