Winner of the Branford Boase Award 2018. Budi’s plan is simple... He’s going to be a star, instead of sweating over each football boot he makes, each stitch he sews, each box he packages. He’s going to play for the greatest team on earth, rather than in the square behind the factory where he works. But one unlucky kick brings Budi’s world crashing down, because now he owes the Dragon, the most dangerous man in all Jakarta. Soon it isn’t only Budi’s dreams at stake, but his life. A story about dreaming big, about hope and heroes, and never letting anything stand in your way...

Reading two books for March‘s library book club. This one is children‘s fiction so I‘m flying through it. Didn‘t think it would be my kind of book (I am not even remotely interested in football) but the characters are well-drawn and the location has really come alive.
