My 9 year old daughter has enjoyed The Kicks book series more than any other book we have thrown at her. As parents, we have struggled to motivate our daughter to read (our daughter hates reading). We have tried various books that we thought she would find interesting and also had her choose her own books, but she never wanted to read them. :(We recently came across The Kicks book series and decided to give them a shot because my daughter plays soccer (she isn't one of those aggressive and passionate soccer kids, but she's decent). Also my wife has been around soccer her whole life. Anyway, my daughter has enough interest in these books that she doesn't pitch fits when we ask her to read. She, with a little help from us, has read through 2 of these books and was excited (at least the most excited I've seen her about a book) to see that we bought this one. For my daughter to have a little interest in reading is something we've struggled with, so this book series deserves some credit.
I bought this for my 11 year-old niece who plays club soccer and wants to play pro one day. She tried reading it, but it didn't hold her interest. She does enjoy reading, but she is pretty mature for her age and is in the gifted program in all advanced classes. I have a feeling it was too "babyish" for her.
My 8 yo daughter loves Alex Morgan. She is really enjoying this series. It is a very easy read but entertaining her. She is not a soccer player but since she does like Alex Morgan and the USA Women's Soccer team, she is appreciating this series.
Thank you Alex Morgan, for giving us a set of stories which can help us provoke good discussions with our kids about what it means to make difficult moral decisions while working hard to achieve our goals! My 8 year daughter who loves soccer was not only thrilled by the stories, but was inspired by the experiences of your characters. There were more than a few times that she said, "I bet Devin is really Alex, and these are the lessons she learned while growing up!" Thank you from a parent who is always looking for great, inspiring books for young girls!
Great series for young ladies who are soccer fanatics! Written by an Olympian and somewhat autobiographical, Alex Morgan gives a good message regarding balance in your life. Soccer is awesome but there is more to life!
This is more for 3rd to 5th grade then middle school.
My 9-yo daughter loves these. Don't miss the Originals TV series streaming on Prime!
