At 17 years of age, Kobe Bryant was one of the first players ever drafted directly from high school into the NBA and well on his way to becoming one of the most famous basketball players of all time. His incredible talent and pure determination had a profound and lasting impact on the world of basketball, in the U.S. and beyond. But Kobe did not start as a basketball prodigy in the U.S. He spent his childhood in Italy, where soccer reigns and few of his peers played basketball; none of them with his skill and intensity. This story takes Kobe from shooting hoops in a church playground in Rieti to playing for the LA Lakers in the NBA.

Nice Resource
This is a great resource to have to help the teacher as a group read, students with solo reading, and absent students. There is also a lot of elements with that help them understand the setting and it is read by multiple characters for the speaking parts.
I recommend this product.

Not the full audiobook
I bought this audiobook for $15 this morning, only to find out that the only file you get is chapter 7. The company has not responded to me about why they are not sending an entire audiobook, when that is how it is marketed. I would love this resource if it was the book in full.
I recommend this product.

It would be great if not for the fact that when it was translated from French to Spanish, not all the names of people and at time words were translated. So you get Moreau instead of Martinez and at time the word "and" is in French. If you want to take the time to fix it is worth the effort but for the price you should not have to lose time fixing it.

Great series - Intro to Paris
Looking for a way to introduce your students to Paris via a story? Like cute little rodents? Novice students need lots of input and repetition and a glossary to help them out? Look no further. There's definitely a bit of repetitiveness in these books but the storyline and curiosity about what happens to Rhumus keeps you reading. The author is very capable and has come up with yet another creative storyline that gets students reading. I particularly liked the 2nd book which had me hooked in wanting to know how the building frustration of the rats would resolve. You won't want to miss adding these titles to your classroom library!

Interesting and at my level (A1-A2)
This book was a pleasure to read. I understood most of it, but there were still some words I had to look up. The glossary in the back was very convenient. The story was interesting as well, and I found myself looking forward to seeing what was going to happen. Thanks.
