Mia Hamm is a famous women's soccer player. She is selfless and cares about her family, friends, and team. Mia was a fast rising soccer star. Sadly, her brother, Garrett, died from aplastic anemia when he was twenty-eight. I connected to this book and enjoyed it more because I'm a soccer player. I love soccer and this book let me enjoy it more.

i think people should read this book becuase it tells you all about mia hamm's life about soccer and social life.

Person: Mia Hamm: pro women's soccer player. I am a soccer player so I naturally love all soccer players (except sometimes the other team). She amazes me with her soccer playing! Go Mia
