A tough kid from a poor family, he has become an emotionally cut-off man with frustrated hopes and limited options. He finds himself coaching an under-16 soccer club in an attempt to keep alive his only passion in life. The team he coaches is little more than a roster of hotheaded boys, none of whom understands the on-field chemistry needed to win. Simply put, they aren't of a championship caliber. When his unemployed sister Madeleine, a single mother, dumps her thirteen-year-old son on him, Vincent panics. With no clue how to take care of a teenager, he brings his nephew to practice and eventually throws him into the scrimmage. It's then that Vincent notices there's something strange about LeÌonard. He has a preternatural ability for anticipating each striker's intentions, making him a remarkably talented goalkeeper, but he seems detached, absent, lost. It becomes clear that LeÌonard has undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome, and also that, with LeÌonard's abilities as a goalkeeper, Vincent's ragtag team has a chance to reach the finals. For that to happen, for the team to find a reason to rally behind this strange kid from Paris, Vincent will have to let down his guard and open his heart for the first time ever 650 0 $a Soccer coaches $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Uncles $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113075 650 0 $a Asperger's syndrome $x Patients $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Soccer goalkeepers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103507 650 7 $a Asperger's syndrome $x Patients. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424574 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Soccer coaches. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122175 650 7 $a Soccer goalkeepers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122197 650 7 $a Uncles. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01160857 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214014044.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006101149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=90951BF6E7B011E78369235E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
