does
something
he
would
never
do
on

as
he

the
goal
for
the
US
national
team
and
for
Everton
in
the

from

with

defied
the
odds
to
become
one
of
the
world’s
premier

Howard
managed
to
keep

well
enough
to

Major
League
Soccer
right
out
of
high
school.
After a successful seventeen-year professional soccer career, Howard became an overnight star this past summer in Brazil. His heroic performance in goal for the United States against Belgium, in which he saved an astonishing sixteen 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, Howard went from a player known mainly by soccer aficionados to an American icon, revered by millions for his dependability, daring, and humility.
In this uplifting memoir now adapted for young readers, Howard shares his remarkable journey from a challenging childhood in which he was raised by a single mother who instilled in him a love of sports and a devout Christian faith that helped him deal with the onset of Tourette’s in fifth grade.
