and it follows a boy named Budi in who lives in Indonesia with his parents and his paternal grandmother; the family are very poor and they cannot afford to send Budi to school so he works in a factory which makes football boots for professional players. This is a story about young boys trying to make a better life for themselves whilst the harsh realities of their situation are constantly trying to smother their dreams. Ways of doing that might have been to make the book a bit longer and to make the writing style a bit more literary and just to expand on the themes and story perspective. From here on in the book becomes altogether darker, there are some violent and some upsetting scenes, and some younger readers may need reassurance and support from their parents. Budi lives with his parents and his grandmother, who tells him stories of past events in her life and his.

Budi especially because he is just like a lot of young boys and girls out there, who's lifelong dream is to play pro football and nothing will stop them. Awalnya aku mengira garapan Mitch Johnson ini akan lebih kurang dengan garapan penulis luar lainnya. It sums up the entire book really well and leaves the reader with a sense of joy, as if the story had been complete.The read focuses on showcasing the life of Budi who works in a football show factory and dreams of playing football professionally professionally. This is a book which will need to be read with younger readers; parents will need to be on hand to explain and reassure. I understand why the publishers have done it because they want the book to appeal to the audience which the book is written for. His grandmother often tells Budi stories in the evening and one of the stories features a boy who lives on an island with a very tall coconut tree. However, I would encourage those unfamiliar children (as well as the familiar children) to pick up this book to read.

The first few chapters of this story focus on Budi's life as a factory worker living in a poor district of Jakarta.Budi learns only later that it was Rochy who stole the boots and passed them on and that he has effectively saved Budi’s skin.
