Summary:
"The extraordinary story of five [actually three] children and their bid to achieve their ultimate dream--they travel 3000 miles across Africa to see the Football World Cup ... Without papers, money or a believable story, they are escorted to a children's refugee camp. But with considerable ingenuity and sass (and a World Cup wall chart for a map), our pint-sized protagonists escape the camp and set off in pursuit of their dream, picking up along the way a "dream team" of displaced kids, who help them negotiate a series of thrilling and hilarious adventures"--Container.
