    About this audiobook

    The uplifting memoir of U.S. national soccer team goalkeeper Tim Howard, adapted for young readers.

    In this heartwarming and candid account, Tim Howard opens up about how a hyperactive kid from New Jersey with Tourette Syndrome defied the odds to become one of the world's premier goalkeepers.

    Tim shares his remarkable journey in an accessible way that will speak to soccer fans, kids struggling with issues that make them feel ""different,"" and any young person looking for a compelling autobiography to read for a report or just for fun.

    After a successful seventeen-year professional soccer career, Tim became an overnight star during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. His heroic performance in the game for the United States against Belgium, in which he saved an astonishing fifteen shots—the most for any goalkeeper in a World Cup game—made him a household name as well as a trending internet meme.

    In the course of 120 minutes, Tim went from a player known mainly by soccer fans to an American icon, loved by millions for his dependability, daring, and humility.

      This was a good old fashioned creepy story that I really enjoyed. The charactor descriptions gave the story a little meat as the plot itself was rather weak and thin. All in all I think this was a good light read if you like a bit of scary and creepy.

      Oppressive story of a declining town with hidden secrets and a crazy young woman who takes those secrets into a dark place within her. This story was unrelentingly bleak and had no humor or hope to counterbalance the horror. I thought the writing was good, but the story itself didn't leave me rooting for anyone to make it through the crisis in the town. All the characters were so flawed that you kind of hoped that town would be wiped off the map.

      I had heard good things about Sarah Langan, so I was glad to finally read her novel. Overall, I found out it to be pretty creepy with some good horror elements. It's definitely worth checking out. The writing was high quality and story was well plotted. I found it a little hard to get behind some of the characters and the ending of the novel was a bit depressing. All in all, a good read. Give it a try.Carl Alves - author of Two For Eternity

      I'm really wondering what this was all about. The storyline was pretty boring, weird things were happening without reason (giant spider ... really) and I couldn't make heads or tails about anything. Than came the "explaining part" which wasn't any better and didn't help explaining much... I wouldn't recommanded it.

      Not what I expected...guess I'm just not into this genre.
